Friday — biology and medical therapy
Microbiome, immune targets and environmental risk lead into a full review of mesalamine, steroids, immunomodulators, biosimilars, vedolizumab, ozanimod, etrasimod, IL-23 blockers, JAKs and supplements.
Friday afternoon — special scenarios
Obesity, pregnancy, coexisting cancer, persistent urgency and fatigue, then combination therapy, comparative effectiveness, mild Crohn’s and acute severe UC.
Saturday — University of Pennsylvania Inflammatory Bowel Disease Symposium surgery block
Dysplasia guidelines, perianal disease, surgical updates, peri-operative Crohn’s care and pouch disorders from surgeons and interventional IBD specialists.

Before you buy
Why does the agenda show 39 items but the package 37 videos?
The programme lists 39 speaking slots including welcome and closing remarks; 37 recordings are supplied, so a brief opening or closing segment may not exist as its own file.
Is every talk accompanied by slides?
There are 30 PDFs for 37 videos, so a few sessions, most likely panels and cases, have no handout. Every video has a VTT subtitle file.
Do I get CME credit or a certificate?
No. Clinicapedia provides the educational content only — no CME or CE credits, MOC points or certificates of completion are included with this product.
