The knowledge-base in the field of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is changing very rapidly with new therapeutics and new treatment paradigms being developed at an unprecedented pace. This course will review new and forthcoming medical and surgical therapeutic approaches in IBD and educate providers on pragmatic aspects of IBD care. Participants will experience an exciting line-up of didactic lectures and Q&A sessions designed to provide attendees with the latest knowledge and insights on IBD treatment and care. With topics ranging from cutting-edge therapies like IL-23 inhibitors and JAK inhibition, to the role of traditional agents such as anti-TNF agents, to the latest updates on IBD research and surgery, attendees will leave with a comprehensive understanding of current and emerging IBD treatments. The lectures also cover important related topics such as post-operative prophylaxis, EIM in IBD, and pregnancy in IBD, making this an ideal opportunity for healthcare professionals to expand their knowledge and skills.
