The transition from pediatric to adult care for young adults with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) presents unique challenges that can impact the quality of care and patient outcomes. This article summarizes the discussions held during the Roundtable on Young Adults with IBD, focusing on essential information for adult-care providers dealing with patients in transition. Key areas of focus include readiness for transition, effective communication between pediatric and adult providers, transfer of responsibility and care management from caregivers to patients, reforming systems that complicate the transition process, and the importance of support interventions. Addressing these considerations can help healthcare professionals navigate the complexities of transitioning young adults with IBD, ensuring a smoother and more supportive journey into adulthood.
