Case 1: Patient with Ulcerative Proctitis Experiences Progression of Bowel Involvement
Patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) often receive inadequate or inappropriate treatment. Management of UC is based on the assessment of disease activity, which is represented by both clinical symptoms and mucosal inflammation. This Virtual Practice has been developed to simulate the day-to-day challenges encountered by clinicians who provide care to patients with UC.
