This oral presentation will discuss an interprofessional study that was to determine whether preoperative functional mobility and nutrition parameters in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patietns was associated wtih post-operative surgery complications. We found that multimodal prehabliitation may improve otucomes in IBD patients.

Learning Objectives:

Participant will be able to identify the parameters used in the multimodal prehabilitation program for inflammatory bowel disease.
Participants will be able to identify functional mobility and nutrition parameters that impacted post-operative abdominal surgery outcomes in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
Participants will be able to identify the benefits and challenges of implementing an interdisciplinary prehabilitation program in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
