Back Rheumatology in the Lungs
July 2025
How can Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) in rheumatology and pulmonology collaborate more effectively to manage interstitial lung disease (ILD) and connective tissue diseases (CTDs)? In this engaging episode of the APAPP Broadcast, recorded live at the Second Annual National APAPP Conference in Nashville, experts Jessica Glennie, PA-C (Cleveland Clinic), Amanda Mixon, PA-C (Colorado), and Cori Fratelli, NP (National Jewish Health) explore clinical overlaps between autoimmune rheumatic diseases and lung involvement, such as ILD in rheumatoid arthritis, systemic sclerosis (scleroderma), Sjögren’s syndrome, and myositis.
The panel shares clinical pearls on:
-How to recognize signs of CTDs in pulmonary patients
-The importance of labs and imaging in early diagnosis
-What rheumatology APPs should ask about pulmonary symptoms
-The power of cross-specialty collaboration
-Real-world case insights, including navigating bird-related hypersensitivity pneumonitis
