About Mentoring In IBD

During the 23 years since the first symposium, Mentoring in IBD has evolved into an innovative and successful annual educational program for Canadian gastroenterologists. Mentoring in IBD now includes regional satellite meetings in both official languages, a website, a newsletter series, and regular electronic communications answering key clinical questions with new research. Each new initiative has provided gastroenterologists with a fresh opportunity to update their knowledge, share their experience with colleagues and expand their clinical expertise.

The annual Mentoring in IBD curriculum has become increasingly popular among Canadian specialists. One reason for this steadily increasing popularity is the consistent, practical and clinically relevant objectives governing the development of each component:

• Increase awareness of new developments and best practices in IBD management
• Promote collaboration among Canadian gastroenterologists
• ptimize treatment of inflammatory bowel disease.

What is Mentoring in IBD Curriculum?

The MIIBD Curriculum consists of seven integrated components:

Mentoring in IBD: The Master Class Annual National Symposium

The 23rd iteration in 2022—The Master Class continues to offer its proven formula of clinically relevant state-of-the-art lectures on hot topics in tandem with expert-led, case-based workshops and open discussions with distinguished faculty and peers to address the complexities of IBD diagnosis and management.

IBD Dialogue

A newsletter launched in 2004, IBD Dialogue communicates new developments and best practices in IBD management as it reports the participant consensus of each case-based workshop discussed at the MIIBD National Symposium. Now distributed electronically, IBD Dialogue will publish 5 issues in 2023. All participants of MIIBD national and regional symposia receive IBD Dialogue by email as part of the post-program learning requirements.
