The Weill Cornell Medicine Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) Program is dedicated to providing comprehensive and personalized care to our patients living with ILD and pulmonary fibrosis. We work with an expert multidisciplinary team of providers to ensure that we provide an accurate diagnosis, offer patients the most up-to-date information about their disease and treatment options, and develop a patient-centered care plan that aligns with our patients’ values and goals.
For proxy access to another account (e.g., a child’s account), please contact the provider’s office. If you are a patient and have a MyChart account already, the office can link the second account to yours. If you are not a patient, you will need to create a Connect account first.
Weill Cornell Medicine’s ability to adapt has been evident throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, as it shifted from becoming an epicenter from COVID-19 patient care, to becoming a site for Stage III clinical trials for a COVID-19 vaccine.
During Phase 3 of a clinical trial, researchers work with between 300 and 3,000 volunteers to test the efficacy of the potential vaccine and monitor patients for possible adverse reactions. Although this phase of study typically takes between one and four years to complete, U.S. Health and Human Services has called on researchers “to accelerate the development, manufacturing, and distribution of COVID-19 vaccines, therapeutics, and diagnostics” with no compromise to patient safety.
Recorded on August 20, 2020, this episode of the Weill Cornell Medicine Insights webinar series, called “COVID Clinical Trials: Antibodies, Immunity, and Vaccine Development,” brings together expert faculty members who have been on forefront of the medical center’s vaccine trials.
