Dr. Farhad Peerani
Inflammatory Bowel Disease Team Lead
Attend morning handover rounds in order to be aware of any new IBD inpatient consults.
See new and follow-up IBD inpatient consults when you have a scheduled IBD consult half-day; otherwise liaise with the IBD fellow/staff if you have a full clinic/endoscopy day scheduled so that someone from the IBD team can provide timely advice/management for the inpatients
Attend Thursday afternoon (3:30 – 4:00 pm) IBD nursing rounds on the second floor of Zeidler in the large boardroom and present the IBD inpatient cases
Unless specifically requested by one of the IBD physicians, IBD consults should not be seen first directly by the IBD service, but instead should involve the GI consult service
There is no rotation-specific call required for the IBD rotation.
C1A - Assessing & initiating management for complex patients
C3AP - Managing patients with exacerbations, disease progression, and/or complications of chronic GI conditions
C6A - Performing colonoscopy (includes sampling - difficult colons)
C7A - Identifying clinically significant findings during endoscopic procedures of the upper and lower gastrointestinal tract
Scheduling of The IBD Rotation
The IBD rotation will be split as close to 50% IBD Consults and 50% IBD Clinic/Endo as possible. Of course, this may not be possible all the time due to clinic and endo availability or other resident commitments. An examplary weekly schedule is provided below.
