IBUS Curriculum
An accredited training program
The main objective of this training
program is to teach standardized,
high quality techniques for an IUS
examination. The international
bowel ultrasound curriculum was
therefore established, consisting
of three educational components.
The IBUS curriculum is a holistic
program, developed to be
completed consecutively within a
maximum timeframe of two years.

ECCO-ESGAR-IBUS Advanced Workshop
IBUS Hands-On Workshop
Introduction to intestinal ultrasonography (intensive 2 - 3 days)
During this workshop, exclusively created by the IBUS Group members, the selected participants take part in expert presentations on bowel ultrasound for theoretical knowledge and numerous hands-on sessions in small groups on real patients for practice. Objectives are to learn the basics of ultrasound application in IBD and retain a copy of a bowel ultrasound teaching compendium. To attend Module 1, IBUS members can fill out the online application within the announced deadline. Participants are later selected by an experts’ committee.
