Program overview
The APP IBD Preceptorship Virtual Program is a comprehensive educational experience for up to 5 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 invovled in professional societies and/or activities as well as express an interest in advancing their knowledge of IBD and patient care management.
Testimonials:
“I am able to see IBD patients with more confidence. My discussions with them are deeper about all aspects of their care. I am able to guide them better socially, mentally and with their treatment.”
“One of the most valuable aspect of this is the mentorship I now have.”
“Better than any virtual program I have attended.”
