Yolanda Mageto, MD, MPH, ATSF

Yolanda Mageto, MD, MPH, ATSF, a pulmonary critical care specialist with nationally recognized expertise in interstitial lung disease (ILD), has assumed the role of Medical Director of Interstitial Lung Disease at Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas in Dallas, Texas. Dr. Mageto attended medical school at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, and completed her residency and training at University of Texas Southwestern and fellowship in pulmonary and critical care medicine at the University of Washington in Seattle with a focus in ILD. Since that time, she has held faculty positions at the University of Washington Seattle, University of Texas Southwestern, and, most recently, University of Vermont, where she rose to the rank of full professor. Dr. Mageto is a clinician, educator, and researcher involved in multiple idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis/ILD trials over last 20 years including collaborations with investigators from other centers in sarcoidosis-related lung disease. She remains actively involved in the total care and management of her patients. Dr. Mageto is dedicated to the development of a Comprehensive Integrated Interstitial Lung disease program, optimizing delivery of care to patients with ILD in the Dallas Fort Worth Area. In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with her family, travelling, reading a good book, and cooking.

Ayodeji Adegunsoye, MD, MS, FCCP

Dr. Ayodeji Adegunsoye is a pulmonary and critical care physician-scientist whose interests focus on the intersection between clinical risk-prediction models and genomic markers to improve pulmonary fibrosis outcomes.

Pulmonary fibrosis is a destructive interstitial lung disease characterized by profound scarring. In severe pulmonary fibrosis, death generally ensues within three to five years. Recent genomic advances have identified factors that influence heterogeneity and prognosis in pulmonary fibrosis. However, health care disparities and the exclusion of major racial groups from these genetic studies limits the generalizability of their findings. Dr. Adegunsoye’s work leverages advanced statistical techniques to improve the delivery of high-quality care in patients with fibrotic lung diseases. Much of his research is aimed at identifying improved practical strategies to optimize pharmacotherapy in patients with pulmonary fibrosis.

Currently, the main focus of Dr. Adegunsoye’s work is utilizing genetic data from a diverse patient population to improve clinical decision-making and outcomes for all patients with pulmonary fibrosis.

Statement of Need

More than 200 interstitial lung diseases (ILD) — from rare to relatively common – are now recognized in the United States, with most forms characterized by inflammation or fibrosis within the interstitial space. While the past several years have brought significant advances in management, the timely implementation of contemporary diagnostic and therapeutic pathways has been inconsistent by clinicians, in part due to a lack of coordinated, multidisciplinary care. Moreover, disparities in screening and treatment for patients with ILD further impedes achievement of optimal clinical outcomes, including improved quality of life.

In this recorded webcast, case-based CME Outfitters activity, a panel of experts in ILD explores strategies for implementing equitable, multidisciplinary care for all patients with ILD. The critical roles of assessing social determinants of health, engaging in shared decision-making with patients, and evaluating potential implicit bias are among the topics covered in this important initiative.

Learning Objectives

  • Implement timely screening strategies that support accurate diagnosis, focused patient education, and appropriate referrals for patients with ILD.
  • Develop multidisciplinary treatment pathways for the care of patients with ILD that include lifestyle modifications, pharmacotherapies, referrals, and management of comorbidities.
  • Incorporate shared decision-making (SDM) with patients that factors in recognition of SDoH and equitable care opportunities.

Financial Support

Supported by an educational grant from Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Target Audience

Internists, primary care clinicians, pulmonologists, radiologists, infectious disease specialists, pathologists, nurse practitioners (NPs), physician associates (PAs), pharmacists, and other health care practitioners (HCPs) involved in the care and coordination of diverse populations of patients with ILD.
