JOIN US FOR THE DEFINITIVE EDUCATIONAL EVENT OF THE YEAR IN INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE!

The 12th annual Meeting of the Minds conference returns with Mentoring in IBD XXV (MIIBDXXV) on Friday, November 8th and Canada Future Directions in IBD (CFD) on Saturday, November 9th, 2024.

The annual national Mentoring in IBD symposium continues its tradition as the best program to integrate information into practice with a proven formula of clinically relevant state-of-the-art lectures on hot topics in tandem with case-based workshops and open discussions with distinguished faculty and peers.

Canada Future Directions in IBD reaches forward to bridge the gap between research and clinical care to establish and inform clinical best practices, communicate the latest research data to define unanswered clinical questions and explore important research initiatives.

The 2nd year of Basic Science in IBD will convene parallel to the MIIBDXXV program on Day 1. On Day 2, CFD will include bench-to-bedside research topics and raise questions to encourage and promote multidisciplinary collaboration among laboratory and clinical researchers and clinicians. With this in mind, some topics covered in Basic Science in IBD will be carried forward to CFD for further exploration. The goal of collaboration is to identify and support unmet clinical needs with research, and translate research into practice.

The Canadian IBD Nurses (CANIBD) Annual Conference will take place on Friday, November 8th and Saturday, November 9th. New this year, Session 2 on Saturday will be a full day meeting.
 
We look forward to bringing another exceptional and unique two days of continuing health education in IBD to Canadian gastroenterologists, allied healthcare professionals, and researchers. 


We look forward to seeing you at the Westin Harbour Castle in Toronto!
