Participating IBD Centers of Excellence

Program Overview

The APP IBD Preceptorship Program is a comprehensive educational experience for several days at an IBD Center of Excellence, during which time the preceptee will gain knowledge and confidence from an experienced faculty director and a multidisciplinary team in order to provide quality IBD patient care based on current practice guidelines and research.

The program is targeted towards NPs, CNSs, and PAs who have not had extensive training or are new to the field of IBD and are thus seeking to gain more IBD knowledge and experience to improve their GI/IBD adult or pediatric practice. Applicants need to be practicing clinically and be involved in professional societies and/or activities as well as express an interest in advancing their knowledge of IBD and patient care management.

Program Components 

• Agenda covering adult/pediatric core curriculum topics through clinical observership, multidisciplinary presentations, and group discussions. An example of one of the training modules available to the preceptees can be found below.
• Personalized mentorship before, during, and after the program 
• Educational resources including peer-reviewed readings, online modules, and recordings
• Complementary registration to the Foundation's Crohn's & Colitis Congress 

Learning Objectives

• Gain exposure to clinical practices employed at IBD centers.
• Increase knowledge of evidence-based approaches to the diagnosis, treatment, and management of IBD.
• Increase confidence in the ability to utilize evidence-based approaches for the diagnosis, treatment, and management of IBD.
• Apply evidence-based approaches of diagnosing, treating, and managing IBD patients into clinical practice.
