THE IMPLEMENTATION OF A PILOT STUDY OF A STANDARDIZED INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE CURRICULUM FOR GASTROENTEROLOGY FELLOWS

There is a need for standardization of the inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) training curriculum in gastroenterology fellowship. This training varies by program and in many cases may be insufficient to provide advanced care in IBD. Prior data has shown only 28% of trainees feel satisfied with their IBD exposure and few feel comfortable with the management of pouches, stomas, and pregnant or post-operative patients. The current approach to IBD education varies widely by training program and may include didactic sessions, web-based education, or clinical exposure.
