2021-2022 University of Chicago Inflammatory Bowel Disease Preceptorship

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), Crohn’s disease, and ulcerative colitis afflict between 1.6 and 3 million Americans, with 30,000 new cases diagnosed each year. Recently, the clinical community has had an increased appreciation of the importance experience plays in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. New therapies, an explosion of research, and advances in the field have made the effective management of the IBD patient more complicated than ever. Issues such as optimal therapy selection, modification of disease natural history with improvement of long-term outcomes, and improvements in quality of care make the appropriate and effective management of patients with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis a complex and expanding area of education and training. Busy clinicians cannot possibly stay updated on all key developments that can lead to improved patient outcomes.
 
The goal of this program is to advance clinical practice in the treatment of IBD patients.
 

Please note: the CME accredited portion of this program is part of the 2021-2022 IBD Preceptorship Program, which consists of three phases. The self-study component of this program can only be completed as part of the full program.

Note: some of these activities are also certified for CME credit.
  3. Two day on site, in person clinical observership at the University of Chicago Medicine IBD Center, after COVID-related visitor restrictions have lifted, consisting of clinic observations, inpatient rounding, and/or procedures with IBD faculty. All related travel expenses, meals, and lodging will be reimbursed.
