Imedex's Advances in Inflammatory Bowel Disease (AIBD) to Highlight Breaking Research
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) October 06, 2017 -- Imedex, a leading producer of medical education and a subsidiary of HMP, today announced a promising lineup of research abstracts will be presented during its 16th annual Advances in IBD (AIBD) Conference, November 9-11 in Orlando, Florida.
As the world’s largest and most influential multidisciplinary conference addressing the treatment and management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), AIBD brings together nearly 2,000 multidisciplinary healthcare professionals from across the globe to learn, share ideas, and discuss research and best practices to improve patient-centered care. IBD, which includes Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), is an increasing global health problem that affects as many as 5 million people around the world.
“AIBD 2017 serves as a unique global forum through which to examine the forefront of IBD research while engaging in stimulating discussion and exchange with peers from across the care spectrum,” said Miguel Regueiro, MD, FACG, a gastroenterologist with the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and one of three chairs for the conference. “The meeting delivers practical, clinical, and patient-centered insights over three days to accommodate the needs of today’s busy clinicians.”
Abstracts will be presented as posters during the conference and featured in a special supplement of the February 2018 issue of the American Journal of Gastroenterology. They include:
