Proposal to Update the Curriculum in Inflammatory Bowel Diseases for Categorical Gastroenterology Fellows. Inflamm Bowel Dis. 2019 May 22;: Authors: Malter LB, Israel A, Rubin DT Abstract Education in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) varies widely between categorical gastroenterology (GI) programs and is largely related to the presence of expert clinicians, patient population, and the presence of an IBD center. The treatment of IBD is becoming increasingly complex at a rapid pace, widening this educational divide. This manuscript outlines all the current US educational offerings in IBD for GI fellows, including…
