Abstract
Young adults with inflammatory bowel disease need to be transitioned to the adult medical system with as much continuity of care as possible. Transition from pediatric to adult medical care continues to present significant barriers. Transitioning inflammatory bowel disease patients involves a careful process involving concrete steps that help patients prepare for new responsibilities. The aim of this review is to propose a clinical and developmental timeline for both patients and their medical team, in order to promote a successful transition.
