Program Description

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a chronic, unpredictable, inflammatory disorder of the digestive tract associated with major clinical and economic burden. IBD is a progressive disease that can damage the bowel over time and lead to hospitalizations, surgeries, and disability. There is a multifaceted burden of IBD on patients, compounded by distressing, debilitating symptoms which can extend to familial and social impacts. This webinar is designed to highlight the impact of living with IBD through the lens of the patient.

Listen to the recent AMCP Unscripted Podcast, IBD: Innovations, Challenges, and the Future of Managed Care
