Eosinophilic Esophagitis: Understanding & Managing the Condition (AAN)

Price: FREE for members and non-members

Session recorded on May 13, 2025
Speaker: Jay Lieberman, MD, FACAAI

Many clinicians lack awareness of subtle symptoms, rely on outdated diagnostic tools, and overuse allergy testing despite limited accuracy. There is limited familiarity with newer diagnostic options and FDA-approved treatments, including biologics. Additionally, treatment often overlooks shared decision-making and the importance of quality of life. As EoE is a chronic condition, ongoing monitoring and individualized care are essential. This session aims to update providers on evidence-based strategies to improve diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management of EoE across all age groups.

This program is a collaboration between the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology and the Allergy and Asthma Network (AAN).
