Overview
Extensive data support the presence of disparities in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) care and outcomes among underserved populations. In this activity, participants will listen directly to a patient’s firsthand account of what barriers to care look and feel like. Participants will also learn about a new, free tool that can help advanced practice providers (APPs) work collaboratively with specialists to expand access to care where it is needed the most. This activity is for IBD and gastroenterology specialists who want to expand their reach to underserved areas and APPs who want to help them get there.
