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.

Learning Objectives
TARGET AUDIENCE

This educational activity has been designed to meet the needs of pediatric gastroenterologists, pediatricians, and specialty and pediatric advanced practice providers.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Upon completion of this educational activity, participants should be able to:

  • Implement strategies to facilitate earlier diagnosis of EoE
  • Discuss the burden and deleterious effects of undiagnosed or inadequately treated EoE, including esophageal remodeling, diminished psychosocial well-being, and complications such as failure to thrive and feeding difficulties
  • Incorporate new or emerging treatments into individualized management plans for patients with EoE based on contemporary guideline recommendations
  • Discuss efficacy and safety data supporting use of new and emerging therapies for EoE
