About

The IBD Centre of BC is committed to providing world-class multi-disciplinary care to patients with IBD and we are excited to host for the second consecutive year the Annual IBD Forum.

This forum is designed for gastroenterologists, internists with a focus on IBD care, colorectal surgeons, IBD nurses and allied professionals who participate in the management of IBD.

We’re a patient-centered organization and that’s why this year the IBD Centre of BC has added to its program a full day dedicated to patients and their families. Our aim is to provide educational content that will help those living with IBD and their closest circle of support to better understand the disease.

20+ Speakers

Speakers from across Canada and abroad will be presenting throughout the event.
