This week we had a great conversation with Dr. Jeremy Adler! Dr. Adler is the Director of the Pediatric IBD Program at CS Mott Children's Hospital at the University of Michigan. We talked to him about his research interests in quality of care improvements, health disparities and IBD, and the Covid vaccine and its effectiveness with children with IBD. We also talked to him about the medications used to treat children with IBD and his work leading the BISCUIT Study which looks at why biologic treatments are discontinued in the treatment of kids with IBD and the outcomes. We also talked to him about why he decide to go back to do even more medical school to become a pediatric IBD specialist after working as a pediatrician for many years. We really enjoyed sharing a cup of later afternoon coffee with Dr. Adler and hope to get to talk to him again soon!
Sincere apologies for the audio quality this week! My internet was not as great as it needed to be in the airport. Lesson learned! We appreciate your patience!!
