PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT With an emphasis on the integration of basic, translational, and clinical approaches, the Americas Association of Sarcoidosis and Other Granulomatous Disorders (AASOG) 2024 Scientific Conference, entitled “The Art of Working Together for Progress,” will focus on a central question: how can multi-disciplinary care, research, and education in sarcoidosis improve patient outcomes, reduce health disparities, and advance disease understanding? To address this central question, the program is organized into a series of thematic sessions focusing on (i) the development of multi-disciplinary teams and training multi-disciplinary experts, (ii) health disparities in sarcoidosis (iii) clinical trials and outcome selection, (iv) precision medicine in sarcoidosis and (v) advanced disease management. The conference aims to accomplish the following objectives: 1) To establish the only large forum in the western hemisphere to present ongoing research and multidisciplinary collaboration of investigators specifically focused on the pathogenesis and treatment of sarcoidosis. 2) To stimulate interactions between the scientific fields of immunology, molecular biology, epigenetics, genetics, genomics, and public health to identify emerging, shared interests that may lead to the performance of more efficient and productive research. 3). To inspire interactions between the disciplines and multidisciplinary team members within sarcoidosis, including pulmonary, cardiology, rheumatology, ophthalmology, and neurology, to improve patient outcomes, develop management strategies, and reduce health disparities. 4) To challenge and stimulate the scientific interests of trainees, attracting a new generation of junior investigators into the field of sarcoidosis. The AASOG 2024 Planning Committee has identified outstanding thought leaders in sarcoidosis as well as selected experts from outside the field to achieve the mission of improving the collective clinical and scientific approach to sarcoidosis. Each session will consist of several presentations followed by dedicated time for discussion to stimulate collaboration and innovation. A major thematic focus of the conference is addressing health disparities in sarcoidosis through a multidisciplinary, collaborative approach. The program aims to achieve this by continuing AASOG’s commitment to diversity and inclusivity with conference faculty including approximately 50% women, 20% from underrepresented racial/ethnic groups, 17% early career faculty, 17% non-physician team members, including 4 patients. Participation of trainees and junior faculty is facilitated by an oral abstract session, poster sessions, and a clinical case discussion session. Networking and collaboration opportunities will include meal and coffee breaks, a structured speed mentoring event, a dinner reception and a breakout group session. The conference will conclude with a high-level summary and review of the impact and common themes from ...
