Inflammatory Bowel Disease Series: Health Maintenance in Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. Guest: Konstantinos A. Papadakis, M.D. Due to the complexity and new pharmacologic options for the management of inflammatory bowel disease, patients often have their care provided by a gastroenterologist. They may not see their primary care provider as often as in the past and some of their preventive health maintenance may not get performed. Are patients receiving primarily specialty care still receiving good health maintenance?  Are we aware that patients with inflammatory bowel disease have some unique needs regarding their preventive health maintenance and some of the recommendations are different than the general population? These are questions I’ll be asking my guest, gastroenterologist Konstantinos A. Papadakis, M.D., from the Mayo Clinic as we discuss “Health Maintenance in Inflammatory Bowel Disease” as part of our ongoing series on Inflammatory Bowel Disease. https://ce.mayo.edu/content/mayo-clinic-talks-inflammatory-bowel-disease Connect with us and learn more here: https://ce.mayo.edu/online-education/content/mayo-clinic-podcasts
