Program Description:
Maintaining symptom control and disease remission is essential to minimizing short- and long-term complications and improving outcomes and quality of life for patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Although the treatment of active IBD has improved considerably, a high rate of relapse is still associated with the disease and maintenance of remission remains an unmet medical need. This program provides practical strategies for optimizing treatment and adherence for adult and pediatric patients with IBD. Drawing on current research and their own clinical experience, the faculty members explore issues of high relevance to clinicians who provide care to patients with IBD.
INTENDED AUDIENCE:
This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of gastroenterologists and other health care professionals involved in the care of patients with IBD.
Activity Objectives:
After taking part in this educational activity, participants should be better able to:
- Apply evidence-based treatment guidelines to maintain response and remission in adult patients with IBD
- Design effective monitoring and maintenance strategies for pediatric patients with IBD
- Educate patients with IBD about the importance of adhering to maintenance therapy
