IBD Management: Combining Cross-Specialty Expertise with Innovative Therapies
This interactive, case‑based symposium brings together specialists in gastroenterology, rheumatology, and dermatology for a dynamic multidisciplinary discussion. The session will identify key opportunities for cross‑specialty collaboration and highlight practical approaches for delivering coordinated, patient‑centered care for individuals with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs).
Learning Objectives
Participants will be able to:
- Evaluate the impact of extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs) and co‑occurring IMIDs on treatment selection and multidisciplinary management in IBD.
- Identify and compare attributes of biologic and small‑molecule therapies, including mechanism of action, efficacy, safety, convenience, and quality‑of‑life considerations.
- Apply shared decision‑making strategies to real‑world IBD cases, incorporating patient preferences, lifestyle factors, and cross‑specialty insights.
