Program Overview

The management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an ever-evolving field. The past decade of developments has led to improved understanding of the disease, management focus beyond symptom control, emphasis on preventing disease progression while avoiding bowel damage and disability, new therapeutic options, and improved treatment algorithms. Additionally, with the rapid and ongoing expansion of IBD therapies (including several characterized by novel mechanisms of action) clinicians are faced with the task of ensuring that their knowledge of the full spectrum of available therapies is both accurate and up to date all the while recognizing nuance in guidelines, patient preferences in a constantly evolving field.

MondayNightIBD, is a serialized CME-certified program that addresses many of these complex clinical questions through our bi-weekly, Twitter-based Clinical Conversations, #PatientExperience Conversations, #Back2Basics Tweetorials, and wrap-up Algorithms.
