Congratulations!

You’ve taken the first step to enhance your knowledge and clinical practices for caring for patients with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE).

Now, put your current knowledge to the test to create your own customized learning experience and see how you stack up relative to fellow clinicians. In this self-paced, 2-part educational activity you will proceed through an interactive learning assessment that leads to personalized education recommendations and resources from a robust content repository. Do you need education on diagnosis? Pathophysiology? Treatment options? Multidisciplinary care? You have come to the right place. Whether you’re a physician, NP/PA, or dietitian, you’ll have the framework and tools you need to help your patients manage their EoE.
Let’s get started!

Hear from our chair,

Dr. Evan Dellon, to learn more about the goals and topics of this unique activity

Gastroenterology

Providers in the gastroenterology setting are generally responsible for the diagnosis of EoE, endoscopic assessments, and treatment and monitoring of patients. As a part of the multidisciplinary care of patients, gastroenterology clinicians play a vital role throughout the patient journey.

  • Enhance your knowledge of risk factors, common symptoms, and how symptoms change over time
  • Update your understanding of diagnostic criteria
  • Hear expert recommendations for endoscopic procedures
  • Learn about current and emerging therapeutic options and the considerations underlying treatment selection
  • Incorporate monitoring strategies to optimize the long-term management of patients within multidisciplinary care teams

Allergy/Immunology

Because so many patients with EoE have allergic comorbidities, such as atopic dermatitis, allergic rhinitis, and allergies to foods, dust mites, etc, providers in the allergy/immunology setting are often the first specialists consulted by a patient. Therefore, clinicians in this setting play a role similar to gastroenterology providers in the initial evaluation of patients as well as ongoing treatment and monitoring, particularly to optimize management of allergic comorbidities.

  • Identify risk factors, common symptoms, and how symptoms change over time
  • Update your understanding of diagnostic criteria
  • Learn about the underlying inflammatory pathophysiology and how it has driven the development of new treatments
  • Implement long-term treatment and monitoring strategies within multidisciplinary care teams

Dietitian

Many patients with EoE can control their disease through the use of elimination diets. Consequently, dietitians play a vital role in the management and monitoring of these elimination diets as well as providing nutrition support.

  • Enhance your knowledge of the types of elimination diets for EoE
  • Learn about the evidence supporting the use of elimination diets for EoE
  • Apply strategies for elimination diets in shared decision making with patients
  • Hear expert recommendations for dietary and nutritional strategies to help patients adhere to elimination diets
  • Incorporate dietary therapies within the multidisciplinary management of patients with EoE
