PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Unfortunately, few clinicians, including gastroenterology specialists, are able to recognize the signs and symptoms of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) in children and young adults. This educational activity features expert faculty and case-based vignettes designed to improve clinician knowledge and competence in the diagnosis and management of patients with EoE. This will allow clinicians to provide personalized treatment based on current recommendations and evidence, leading to improved patient outlook and quality of life.

Join our esteemed faculty as they discuss key strategies to improve the outcomes of pediatric patients with EoE. Topics will include early diagnosis, recent clinical trial data regarding new and emerging therapies, and evolving evidence-based recommendations for treatment.
