Multidisciplinary Videoconferencing for Physician Education and Remote Management of Interstitial Lung Disease.

ABSTRACT: Background: The gold standard for interstitial lung disease (ILD) diagnosis is multidisciplinary discussion (MDD); however, access is often limited by geographic barriers, time constraints, and the number of centers with ILD expertise. Objective: To assess the educational and clinical impact of a novel videoconferencing MDD program for the diagnosis and management of ILD. Methods: We performed a retrospective observational study of the Multidisciplinary Interstitial Lung Disease Discussion with Experts Remotely (MILDDER) program, a videoconferencing MDD platform initiated by the Toronto General Hospital in Toronto, Canada. We used anonymized survey data from attendees (trainees and practicing physicians) and referring physicians who attended MILDDER between 2018 and 20
