MALVERN, PA, UNITED STATES, November 21, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- HMP Global’s Advances in Inflammatory Diseases (AIBD) this year features a powerful educational program enhanced by a pre-conference workshop for advanced practice practitioners (APPs) and a new pharmacy learning track, delivering an overall learning experience empowering clinicians to provide the highest standard in IBD care.

AIBD 2024, the only conference of its kind focused on IBD, will be held December 9-11 at Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel in Orlando, Florida. The program covers three days of real-world clinical education, comprehensive case studies, new evidence-based approaches in IBD management, and access to leading experts who are essential to providing optimal treatment strategies for patients with IBD.

“Advances in IBD is a transformative journey that seamlessly blends scientific innovation with practical solutions, steering the course for the future of IBD management,” said Co-Chair Stephen Hanauer, MD, MACG, Medical Director of Digestive Health Center, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. “AIBD is an unparalleled experience in which we redefine standards, introduce groundbreaking therapies, and showcase the latest in technological advancements and real-world data.”

Kicking off the conference are five preconference workshops on December 8, including a new workshop for APPs where participants will split into groups to discuss a revolving set of topics in IBD, including preceptorships, publications, and new and under-utilized therapies.

Returning this year are the popular preconference workshops on Building an IBD Center; the PANCCO Symposia with educational content delivered fully in Spanish; a Fellows Workshop followed by a reception with fellows and AIBD Ambassadors; and the Women in IBD Leadership Workshop where attendees and faculty experts will participate in breakout discussions on topics relevant to women in the IBD field.

The 2024 program will include four learning tracks: Surgery, Pediatrics, Nursing and, new this year, a Pharmacy track focusing on the integration of pharmacists into IBD care, navigating the landscape of dual therapies and resources available for medications.
