Course Overview:
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is one of the most prevalent gastrointestinal disease burdens in the U.S. with an overall health care cost of more than $1.7 billion, according to the Center for Disease Control. It is a chronic condition with no medical cure and often requires a lifetime of care, accounting for more than 700,000 physician visits and 100,000 hospitalizations annually. The treatment of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) remains challenging for any physician. However the naturopathic doctor is well trained to contribute the necessary integration of therapies for optimal care of many IBD patients. In this webinar, Dr. Weiner will describe integration of pharmacologic agents, dietary strategies, evidence-based naturopathic therapeutics, and the cooperation of gastroenterologists and naturopathic doctors performing together on behalf of the patients' best interests.
