Eosinophilic esophagitis, or EoE, is a chronic immune-mediated disease that can affect eating, growth, and quality of life. In children, symptoms may include stomach pain, vomiting, feeding refusal, or poor growth. In adolescents and adults, symptoms may include difficulty swallowing, food getting stuck, persistent heartburn, or pain with eating.

Kansas Chapter, American Academy of Pediatrics invites pediatric clinicians to a free, interactive webinar designed to build awareness of EoE, strengthen recognition of signs and symptoms, and support timely referral to pediatric gastroenterology and allergy subspecialists when appropriate.

During this 60-minute session, Erin Syverson, MD, FAAP, will provide a practical overview of EoE, followed by an interactive learning activity and live Q&A. Participants may submit questions during registration for the faculty member to consider.

This educational webinar series is presented by the American Academy of Pediatrics in collaboration with the American Partnership for Eosinophilic Disorders and participating AAP chapters, with involvement from the AAP Section on Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition and the AAP Section on Allergy and Immunology.
