- By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to appropriately order and interpret investigations for chronic diarrhea, including fecal calprotectin, to rule out inflammatory bowel disease.
- By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to initiate management of diarrhea-predominant IBS, emphasizing reassurance, shared decision-making, and evidence-based treatments.
