NORD Physician Guide to NTM

Do you have Nontuberculous
Mycobacterial (NTM) Pulmonary Disease?

NTM Info & Research partnered with the National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD) to help publish a Physician Guide to Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Lung Disease. The guide, which was authored by Dr. Leah Lande, is designed to help promote awareness of NTM lung disease among health care professionals in order to reduce time to diagnosis and help achieve better patient outcomes.

 

Dr. Lande is a physician in the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at Lankenau Medical Center, and a faculty member at Jefferson University Medical College.
