LOCATION: Westin Harbour Castle, Toronto, ON
JOIN US FOR THE DEFINITIVE EDUCATIONAL EVENT OF THE YEAR IN INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE!
The 11th annual Meeting of the Minds conference returns with Mentoring in IBD XXIV (MIIBDXXIV) on Friday, November 3rd and Canada Future Directions in IBD (CFD) on Saturday, November 4th, 2023. This year we are proud to announce the integration of a Basic Science in IBD stream concurrent with MIIBDXXIV on Friday, November 3rd.
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.
Basic Science in IBD will convene parallel to the MIIBDXXIV 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 3rd and Saturday, November 4th. 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. Space is limited...please register today!
