Rome V Primary Care Online

For primary care providers (PCPs) and non-GI clinicians, Rome V represents a shift toward making the diagnosis of Disorders of Gut-Brain Interaction (DGBI) more accessible, less reliant on exhaustive “rule-out” testing, and more focused on the patient’s quality of life.

• The epidemiology and burden of DGBI in primary care
• A biopsychosocial approach to the patient, targeted for a time-efficient primary care practice
• Psychological care from the PCP perspective and when to engage the psychologist
• The role of food, diet, and the gut microbiome in DGBI
• Evidence-based shifts in the IBS criteria and 4 new diagnoses enabling providers to better care for their patients
• Identification, diagnosis, and management of DGBI in adults and children
