This is a 1.25-hour on-demand activity that provides guidance to primary care clinicians who manage care and support for patients with ILDs and their caregivers. The five (5) member faculty is comprised of a primary care physician (PCP), a pulmonologist, an ILD clinical pharmacy specialist, an ILD nurse, and an actual patient with ILD. This multidisciplinary roundtable is delivered as a role-played patient-case through several office visits. The primary care physician interviews an actual ILD patient and consults with the interprofessional team-members on management and best treatment methods. Also included are video vignettes of actual patients to provide the patient's perspective. 

Multiple myeloma (MM) is one of the most common hematologic malignancies in adults and is the most common hematologic malignancy in Black patients. The incidence of MM in the black population is 2-3 times higher than in white patients however, the vast majority of MM clinical trials are conducted on a predominantly white population, resulting in a lack of data regarding MM treatment in Black patients. Our panel of expert Hematology/Oncology faculty convene a patient focus group-informed interactive video discussion emphasizing the treatment and clinical research disparities among Black and underserved patients. The focus groups were comprised of diverse groups of MM patients currently being treated at Boston Medical Center. This educational program builds off the complementary enduring activity to further address existing knowledge gaps related to the racial disparities which impact MM therapy and clinical trial inclusion; highlight ongoing inequities; and provide guidance so that healthcare clinicians can more effectively and equitably treat patients with MM. This activity dives into the results of the focus groups via a moderated panel discussion of the interprofessional care team.
