🚨 Attention young faculty & trainees!
I asked these two #PedsGI @ShermanPrize success stories for one piece of advice on making meaningful progress for patients with #IBD:
Scott emphasized investing in #trainees to create a broad, lasting impact and legacy, while Mike highlighted finding #knowledgegaps—often by looking to what other fields are doing that IBD isn’t—and focusing efforts there.
That’s a pretty great roadmap. 💡🧠

At #AIBD2025, we reviewed the European ECCO-ESPGHAN pediatric CD guideline, which recommends exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) as a first-line option for inducing remission in low-risk luminal Crohn’s. 🥤
EEN offers strong mucosal outcomes but remains socially challenging for many families, and this approach does not necessarily reflect current U.S. practice. A U.S. pediatric CD guideline is in development.
