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.

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.
