Activity Description

Irritable Bowel Disease (IBD) encompasses a group of gastrointestinal chronic conditions including Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn’s Disease. This group of diseases can have a very negative and severe effect on a patient’s quality of life. IBD can lead to severe physical complications requiring surgery and/or hospitalization. When selecting drug therapies for patients with IBD, there are multiple things to consider. This activity discusses both Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn’s, the stepwise approach to treatment considerations, and financial assistance options to provide the technician with a better understanding of these disease processes and the therapies used to treat them.
