OVERVIEW

Inflammatory Bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic disorder of the intestinal tract that affects an estimated 1.4 million Americans. Over the past 10 years, the field of IBD has changed dramatically. Practice gaps exist because learners may require updates on the multiple therapeutic options in IBD. Our goals are to provide high-level educational programs to support the needs of our physicians particularly close to suburban NM sites.
