Statement of Need

@MondayNightIBD brings social media and clinical practice influencers in gastroenterology together in a weekly online conversation that has become an international platform, moving the field of gastroenterology forward. It crowdsources the knowledge and experience of leading inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) experts, community clinicians, and patients to meet the many challenges of IBD.

In this webcast, CME Outfitters and @MondayNightIBD come together to bring you a panel of experts who will tailor a series of patient cases. These cases will focus on the application of cutting-edge data for novel therapies, identifying appropriate treatment strategies for special populations such as young patients and racial/ethnic minorities, and developing patient communication strategies, with the aim of achieving optimal patient outcomes.

Learning Objectives

At the end of this CME/CE activity, participants should be able to:

  • Apply efficacy, safety, and comparative effectiveness data for existing and emerging therapies to optimize therapy selection for patients with IBD.
  • Identify appropriate treatment strategies for special populations with IBD such as young patients and racial/ethnic minorities.
  • Develop strategies such as disease monitoring, shared decision-making (SDM), and patient education in order to achieve optimal patient outcomes.

The following learning objectives pertain only to those requesting CNE or CPE credit:

  • Explain efficacy, safety, and comparative effectiveness data for existing and emerging therapies to optimize therapy selection for patients with IBD.
  • Identify appropriate treatment strategies for special populations with IBD such as young patients and racial/ethnic minorities.
