Medical students often view IBS as “less real” and harder to treat than IBD, biases that deepen with training. Since physician perceptions shape care, we must intervene early with education that frames IBS as legitimate and models compassionate, evidence-based care.
Medical students' knowledge and perception of irritable bowel syndrome in comparison to inflammatory bowel disease - PubMed
Biases observed in gastroenterologists toward patients with IBS originate as early as the beginning of medical school, including seeing IBS as a "less real" disease and more difficult to treat. Earlier educational interventions may be helpful in identifying and addressing these biases.
