In collaboration with iUSCAN and IBUS, IUS Monthly was started in May 2023 as an interactive case-based conference aimed at fostering discussion of challenging IBD clinical scenarios and their associated IUS findings. IUS Monthly is designed for IUS learners of all stages as we highlight IUS findings and discuss the utility of IUS in complex IBD clinical decision making. The first three conferences have show-cased presentations by Drs. Noa Krugliak Cleveland, Michael Dolinger, Maia Kayal, Cathy Lu, and Kerri Novak. IUS Monthly has drawn an international audience with participants from North America, Europe, Asia and Australia. We welcome you all to join the conversation. IUS Monthly meets virtually on the second Tuesday of every month at 8pm EST (New York, NY USA). To receive the conference link, please register under our events tab.
