NORD and NIH Undiagnosed Diseases Network Host Webinar for Physicians and Patients

The Undiagnosed Diseases Network (UDN) brings together clinical and research experts from across the nation to try to solve the most challenging medical mysteries. Patients with longstanding unexplained symptoms can apply online, with support from their physicians, to receive an in-depth clinical and research evaluation at one of the UDN’s seven medical centers.

The National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD) and the UDN recently hosted a free webinar for physicians and other medical professionals, patients, and caregivers. The purpose was to promote awareness of this program.

Speakers included the principal investigators from the UDN sites at UCLA and Duke University. In addition, a patient who has participated in the program described her experiences. The program included an overview of the UDN, the application and evaluation process, and financial considerations. NORD administers a patient assistance program to help UDN applicants who qualify on the basis of financial need pay for medical testing required to complete the application process.
