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. 

Testimonials:

"As the only APP in IBD in my practice, the knowledge I have obtained through this preceptorship will greatly add value to how I manage my patients, the first line therapies I use, and the education I provide to my patients” ~Juanita Belton, PA (adult) 

“I gained some wonderful mentors that I will continue to reach out to for their advice and expertise.” ~Kate Delle, NP (pediatrics)

Learning objectives

• Gain exposure to clinical practices employed at IBD centers.

• 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.

Program components 

• Agenda covering adult/pediatric core curriculum topics through clinical observership, multidisciplinary presentations, and group discussions.
• Personalized mentorship before, during, and after the program

• Complementary registration to the Foundation's 2023 Crohn's & Colitis Congress 

COVID considerations

We are offering this program as an in-person multi-day experience where the Foundation will cover the majority of costs through the generous support of our sponsors. As a contingency plan depending on global circumstances, we will convert this program to a 4-5 day virtual program as we have successfully done for the past 2 cycles.
