3rd Annual Virtual Medical Crossfire in IBS and IBD Online Course, web
03/23/2023

Activity Overview

Much of the substantial morbidity, mortality, and cost associated with chronic gastrointestinal disorders, including irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), can be mitigated through the provision of quality care by a dedicated clinician. To maintain their high level of care, clinicians must remain up to date on advances in the field.

The Annual Live Medical Crossfire®: IBS and IBD conference is 1-day CME symposium designed to educate and empower clinicians who care for patients with IBS and IBD about emerging data and best practices for diagnosing and treating these disorders. It provides a unique opportunity for clinicians to learn from and interact with leading expert faculty to increase clinical knowledge, apply new data to practice, and ultimately improve patient outcomes.
