2024 CAG Visiting Clinical Professor
Jeffrey McCurdy, MD, PhD, FRCPC
Assistant Professor of Medicine, University of Ottawa
Clinical Investigator, The Ottawa Research Institute
Academic Biography
Dr. Jeffrey McCurdy received his PhD in Immunology from Dalhousie University and MD from the University of Ottawa. He completed Gastroenterology training at Dalhousie University, and an advanced fellowship in IBD at Mayo Clinic, Rochester.
He is co-chair of IBD Update (ibdupdate.ca) and co-editor of the journal IBD Today.
His research interests focus on identifying predictors of disease related outcomes in IBD, including perianal Crohn’s disease, infectious exacerbations of IBD and venous thromboembolism.
Potential Topics of Presentation:
- Optimizing care for patients with perianal Crohn's disease
- Sequencing biologic therapies in IBD
- Approach to Pouch related disorders
