Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD), reduces patients’ quality of life and is associated with substantial medical, financial, and social burdens. More than 3 million people in the US and Europe are estimated to have IBD. Despite recent advances in IBD therapies, clinicians are still faced with challenges in treating and managing their patients with UC. Clinicians must choose from a vast array of agents in a variety of drug classes with different mechanisms of action, including agents that are newly available or under clinical investigation. In view of this expansion of therapeutic options, it is crucial for clinicians to remain current regarding all potential treatment strategies to ensure optimal patient outcomes. The individualized needs of specific patient populations, including patients with complex IBD, will be discussed. Additional focus will be placed on providing multidisciplinary and patient-centered approaches to care. Overall, this initiative will aim to overcome existing barriers to achieving treatment goals for patients with IBD.
This program is intended for gastroenterologists, gastroenterologists in training, surgeons, subspecialists including dieticians and psychologists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurses, and other healthcare team members involved in or interested in the care of patients with IBD.
