This multidisciplinary center has been established at the Medical University of South Carolina for the purpose of evaluating sarcoidosis patients who are referred by physicians throughout the state. Clinicians in the Sarcoidosis Clinical Center then suggest a treatment plan for the patients to follow in their hometown under the supervision of their referring physician. One of the major advantages of the center is that the patient can be seen during a single visit by all subspecialists involved in the treatment plan. The director of the Sarcoidosis Clinical Center is Marc A. Judson, M.D. Professor of Medicine in the Pulmonary and Critical Care Division at MUSC.
