Dr. Ehrlich has been involved in the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation at all levels. He serves as a member of the National Scientific Advisory Committee’s Professional Membership subcommittee, the Regional Education Committee, and is a co-chair for the Delaware Valley Healthcare Professional Engagement Committee.

Dr. Ehrlich’s approach to an IBD patient is one of shared knowledge and decision-making. With the expansion of new therapies, he feels it is vital to include the patient in the process of deciding the right treatment plan and that an individualized approach strengthens the physician-patient relationship.
