Workshop description

The 22nd IBUS Hybrid Module 1 Workshop will take place on October 16th, 2026 in Seattle, WA, USA.
This IBUS workshop has been developed by a group of international experts in IBD and intestinal ultrasound (IUS). Participants will learn about the basics of IUS and its role in diagnosis, follow-up of treatment, and complications in IBD.
The workshop consists of 2 parts:

Theoretical and didactic training: participants will engage in an interactive, self-directed eLearning course via IBUS
Practical training: the hands-on experience component will be facilitated through an introductory face-to-face workshop involving sessions with patients

This workshop, hosted by IBUS and iUSCAN, it's a full day Module 1 Ultrasound Training Course for adult and pediatric physicians and advance practitioners. This workshop will take place on Friday, October 16th, 2026.
The workshop will be organized under the medical lead of Dr Ghassan Wahbeh from Seattle Children's - Gastroenterology and Hepatology (USA) and in collaboration with the IBDFrontiers Intestinal Ultrasound and iUSCAN.
