J6984

+ Add to Google Calendar + Add to Outlook

There is increased awareness that the optimal treatment of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) requires a multidisciplinary approach involving not only many medical specialties but also many levels of care – primary care physicians, physician assistants, pharmacists, nurse practitioners, nurses, stoma specialists and dieticians, as well as the active involvement of the patients themselves and their families. While specialized IBD conferences for physicians abound, conferences intended specifically for other professionals are lacking.

Our goal is to provide the most up-to-date information in the clinical, multidisciplinary care of patients with IBD. This program is structured in a clinical case format to provide relevant and practical information. Our faculty is composed of expert specialists, both physicians and advanced practice clinicians, in all key areas of IBD care.

• Primary Care Physicians
• Physician Specialists
• Physician Assistants
• Nurses: Nurse Practitioners; Registered Nurses; Gastrointestinal Nurses; Endoscopy Nurses; Wound, Ostomy and Continence Nurses
