The Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) program’s goal is to provide excellent care to people with ILD and develop better treatments for the future. ILD can be complex to diagnose and treat. We believe that a patient-centered approach with experts in ILD, including pulmonary, rheumatology, and radiology physicians, is central to excellent care.

A department providing care to support lung health and improve breathing for people with for asthma, allergies, COPD, and other breathing conditions.

A department providing cardiology care for heart and vascular conditions to support long-term heart health and general wellbeing.

A department providing skin care, including diagnosis and treatment for general skin-related conditions, dermatologic surgery, cosmetic dermatology, and more.
A program that provides pulmonary rehab, using exercise, education, and support to help people with lung conditions improve breathing and manage symptoms.

A department providing medical imaging, including X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans to support diagnosis and care across the hospital.

A program providing rheumatologic medicine for joint and autoimmune diseases, including gout, lupus, vasculitis, and psoriasis.

A program offering care from a sarcoidosis specialist providing diagnosis and treatment for sarcoidosis symptoms affecting the lungs and other organs.

A program providing speech therapy from a speech-language pathologist to evaluate and treat speech, language, voice, and swallowing disorders.

Education and Training

Interstitial Lung Disease Training

Our ILD clinic welcomes a variety of trainees interested in learning about interstitial lung disease, including pulmonology and critical care fellows, internal medicine residents, and genetic counseling students.  

Research Overview

We strongly believe there will be significant improvements in our ability to better diagnose and treat interstitial lung disease in the coming years. The best way to accelerate this process is through basic and clinical science research. At the BMC ILD Clinic, you can contribute to this work. Our physicians are leading innovative studies to understand how pulmonary fibrosis begins and developing therapies to prevent or reverse lung disease.
