Activity Description

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic relapsing condition. The main subtypes of IBD—Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis—are characterized by an overly active immune response to the gut enteric flora, resulting in bowel inflammation and ulceration. They are difficult to accurately diagnose and manage, and treatment options can consist of both medical and surgical approaches. Advanced practice nurses, physician assistants, and pharmacists play integral roles in the care and management of patients with IBD, providing assessments, diagnosis, treatment/care planning, implementation, and evaluation. They also play a key role in supporting and educating patients and their caregivers. It is thus crucial that advanced practice clinicians possess the latest information on IBD treatments and management. During “Best of the 5th Annual Advanced Practice Provider IBD Immersion: An IBD-U Initiative,” experts in the field provide current evidence and guidance regarding the pathophysiology and assessment of IBD, in addition to the most recent evidence in medical and surgical approaches for the treatment of IBD.

Target Audience

The intended audience for this activity is pharmacists and other health care professionals involved in the management of patients with inflammatory bowel disease.

Learning Objective(s)

Upon successful completion of this educational activity, participants should be better able to:

• Apply the latest medical advances, including biological therapies, to the treatment of patients with IBD.
• Summarize surgical procedures used for IBD and approaches to reduce complications.
• Evaluate everyday challenges as well as practical interventions and solutions that may improve the overall outcome and quality of life in patients with IBD.
• Assess the significance of a multidisciplinary approach in the optimal management of patients with IBD in both the medical and surgical settings.
