ILD Research
Interstitial Lung Disease Fellowship
Since 2013, Canadian and international trainees have embraced the opportunity to pursue sub-specialty training in the ILD Fellowship Program at the Firestone Institute for Respiratory Health, McMaster University. Graduates of the program have gone on to develop and lead recognized ILD centres dedicated to clinical care, research, and education. The program’s objectives and curriculum are designed to foster a collaborative multi-disciplinary approach to the management of advanced parenchymal lung disease. Given our evolving understanding of the pathogenies of the various forms of ILD, the divergence and convergence of disease phenotypes, and the development of novel and complex therapeutic strategies to manage these conditions, there is a high demand to train physicians in order to catapult patient care.
