Program Overview
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), of which Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis are the two main subtypes, is a chronic, relapsing condition characterized by an overly active immune response to the gut enteric flora, resulting in bowel inflammation and ulceration. IBD has a detrimental effect on quality of life for patients who suffer from this disease. Despite the increasing prevalence of IBD, gastroenterology fellows receive inadequate education regarding the diagnosis, classification, and management of these patients. Now in its third year, the IBD Summit for Fellows will feature expert faculty who will discuss optimal strategies for providing care to patients with IBD.
