Program Overview
Program Description
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) comprises 2 distinct entities, ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. Primary care practitioners need to identify early signs and symptoms to appropriately diagnose these conditions in patients to ensure prompt intervention, initiation of therapy, and applicable referral to specialist care. Patients with IBD require vaccination, symptom and therapeutic monitoring, and optimal preventive care, including cancer screenings. In this activity, an IBD specialist provides expert advice on how to manage the spectrum of IBD through diagnosis and long-term patient care.
