16th Annual Inflammatory Bowel Disease: The Art and Science in the Diagnosis and Treatment 2023
Join us in-person for IBD Boston 2023. September 8-9, 2023
Each year, the Boston IBD conference brings top gastroenterology specialists from North America together with up-and-coming Boston area specialists for a 1.5 day CE program. This program is designed to stimulate conversations about how to initiate practice changes within the IBD healthcare team in the diagnosis and management of patients with Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). Through keynote talks, panel discussions and breakout sessions, you will be challenged to develop innovative strategies to improve the quality of life for your patients while prolonging clinical remission. The city of Boston provides an excellent backdrop for this educational and networking experience – we hope you can join us in person this year.
What past attendees have said about the Boston IBD Meeting:
"Excellent conference! Case discussions were good."
"Wonderful and as always highly educational! Provides useful information we can apply to our practice daily."
