Description
The Bristol Myers Squibb Foundation is inviting proposals for independent medical education (IME) initiatives focused on pulmonary fibrosis (including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis [IPF] and progressive pulmonary fibrosis [PPF]). This opportunity aims to support comprehensive, innovative, and engaging education that addresses unmet needs in the diagnosis, pathophysiology, and management of pulmonary fibrosis, as well as the latest advances in treatment and clinical research. The IME department publishes Requests for Education (RFEs) to address specific knowledge gaps; this RFE (RFE-26-IM-101) seeks to enhance clinician knowledge, competence, and patient outcomes in pulmonary fibrosis.
