Workshop description

The 21st IBUS Hybrid Module 1 Workshop will take place on Friday, 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

The workshop will be organized under the medical lead of Dr Ghassan Wahbeh from Seattle Children's - Gastroenterology and Hepatology (USA) and Dr Nina Saxena from University of Washington IBD Center (USA) and in collaboration with IBDFrontiers Intestinal Ultrasound and iUSCAN.
