Dr Scholand always listens well, explains well, and kindly answers all my questions. She also always includes me in decisions and formulating a plan. I REALLY appreciate her. I do wish the coordination that took place with my rheumatologist as it was when Dr. Frech was there was still in place. I think that was a huge benefit that is hard to replace when dealing with chronic, multi-faceted disease.

I have had Dr. Scholand since I was 1st seen at the University of Utah over 12 years ago. She is the only reason I chose Healthy U as my provider. I could not see her under any other insurance option I had at the time. I have remained with Healthy U because it is great secondary insurance for me and I still have Dr. Scholand!!

Research Statement
Dr. Mary Beth Scholand is an Associate Professor in Pulmonary Medicine. Her clinical practice primarily focuses on interstitial lung disease (ILD) and she is the Director of the ILD Clinic. ILD is a disease category that encompasses many pulmonary conditions, including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), autoimmune lung diseases, and sarcoidosis. Dr. Scholand is the principal investigator on numerous clinical trials which aim to find a treatment for pulmonary fibrosis (both idiopathic and autoimmune in etiology), and is a co-investigator in NIH-funded studies on IPF and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. In addition, Dr. Scholand studies the relationship between genetic and phenotypic variation to identify genes that significantly elevate the risk of developing ILD, and thus to find new therapeutic targets.
