ABOUT
The GI Health Foundation (GiHF) and Gastroenterology and Hepatology Advanced Practice Providers (GHAPP), IBD APP & Nurse Preceptorship program aims to foster professional growth, expand clinical expertise, and promote collaborative practice within the realm of gastrointestinal health. By participating in this program, applicants will have the opportunity to work closely with esteemed colleagues in gastroenterology, gaining valuable insights and practical skills to excel in their careers.
The accredited preceptorship includes two primary phases: foundational training and in-clinic workshops.
Part I: Foundational Training
Selected community-based gastroenterology APPs will begin with a one-day foundational meeting. The foundational session will cover important topics such as new treatments and current guidelines in IBD. The hosts of the preceptorship will present recent updates in IBD, as well as cases for discussion and encourage participants to share their clinical decisions.
Part II: In-Clinic Workshops
The second part of the preceptorship will feature a workshop at the preceptorship host’s clinic. The participants will obtain comprehensive training by shadowing the preceptorship hosts over two days. Following the foundational training, participants will be cycled through the in-clinic workshop in small groups of 1-2 at a time over several months. The workshop will be a hands-on experience with patients to learn best practices from an experienced team of IBD specialists.
