Not every rash is “just a rash.” And sometimes the most useful clinical tool is knowing exactly which colleague to text.\n\nIn Part 1 of our special Skin and Joints Podcast crossover, we go beyond skin deep and gut feelings with dermatologist Dr. Perry Grewal and gastroenterologist Dr. Jesse Siffledeen to tackle what Derm–GI collaboration actually looks like, or could look like in the real world.\nPsoriasis and inflammatory bowel disease may live in different specialty clinics, but for many patients, the boundaries aren’t nearly so tidy. \nWhat should make a dermatologist start thinking about the gut? Which GI symptoms deserve a routine referral—and which ones should make your clinical “spidey sense” start tingling? \nOur guest experts get practical about:\n🔎 The GI red flags worth screening for in patients with psoriatic disease\n🚨 When a referral can wait—and when it probably shouldn’t\n🧪 Where fecal calprotectin, inflammatory markers and anemia fit into the picture\n📲 Why sometimes a colleague’s name, and a quick message can be more useful than an elaborate referral pathway\n📝 What actually needs to go into a useful Derm-to-GI or GI-to-Derm referral\n🧩 How to begin separating IBD from common mimics such as IBS and post-infectious symptoms\n💊 Why recognizing coexisting immune-mediated disease can influence treatment decisions\nAnd perhaps most importantly: multidisciplinary care doesn’t always require a multidisciplinary clinic. \n\n🎯 Learning Objectives\nBy the end of Part 1, listeners should be able to:\n1.\tRecognize key gastrointestinal signs, symptoms and clinical red flags that may warrant further investigation for IBD in a patient presenting with psoriatic disease.\n2.\tDifferentiate between routine, urgent and potentially emergent GI referral scenarios based on symptoms, systemic illness and available objective findings.\n3.\tDescribe practical strategies for Derm–GI co-management, including effective communication and the essential information to include when referring between specialties.\n4.\tExplain how suspected or confirmed gastrointestinal comorbidity may influence therapeutic decision-making in patients with immune-mediated disease.\n5.\tIdentify clinical features that can help distinguish IBD from common gastrointestinal mimics, while recognizing when specialist assessment is warranted.\n🎧 Two specialties. One patient. And a lot more overlap than the clinic schedule might suggest.\n#SkinAndJointsPodcast #Dermatology #Gastroenterology #Psoriasis #IBD #CrohnsDisease #UlcerativeColitis #ImmuneMediatedDisease #MultidisciplinaryCare #MedicalEducation #DermGI #ClinicalPractice\n\nSUPPORTED BY AN IME GRANT FROM JnJ Johnson and Johnson.\n\n\n\nABOUT Dr. Parbeer Grewal\n\nDermatologist, Edmonton, AB\n\nDr. Parbeer Grewal completed his Bachelor of Science undergraduate degree at the University of Alberta with a specialization in Psychology and graduated with distinction.
