Target Audience:
This educational activity is designed for gastroenterologists and other healthcare professionals (physicians-in-training, nurses, pharmacists, physician assistants, etc) involved and/or interested in the therapeutic management of patients with IBD.

Overview:
The therapeutic landscape of IBD has evolved significantly over recent years, and new medication approvals, biosimilar approvals, and other potential targeted therapies for IBD are emerging at a rapid pace. These novel therapies have led to significant improvements in the clinical management of IBD and have led to recommendations for earlier diagnosis, personalized treatment, and treating to target. With these rapid advances, nurses are challenged to critically assess emerging data and to implement safe and effective solutions for current clinical challenges. Nurses need expert guidance to help them integrate new and promising data into their day-to-day clinical practices.
Designed to meet the educational needs of the entire IBD healthcare team, the 2018 Advances in Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (AIBD) meeting provided clinicians with expert guidance on the latest advances and new insights for the personalized care of patients with IBD. This webcast highlights the clinically significant information presented during the 2018 AIBD ‘Nursing & Advanced Practice Track’ in Orlando, Florida on December 14, 2018.

Objectives:
Upon successful completion of this educational activity, participants should be better able to:
• Consider the role of nutrition therapy in adult and pediatric patients with IBD
• Discuss factors that should be considered when transitioning a pediatric patient with IBD to adult care
