Scripps 2nd Eosinophilic Esophagitis & Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Disorders Symposium 2026
Comprehensive Updates in Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) and Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Disorders (EGIDs)
Scripps 2nd Eosinophilic Esophagitis & Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Disorders Symposium 2026 is a focused educational program designed to provide healthcare professionals with the latest evidence-based advances in the diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases. This comprehensive symposium brings together leading experts in gastroenterology, allergy and immunology, pathology, and related specialties to explore the rapidly evolving landscape of EoE and EGIDs.
The course highlights emerging diagnostic technologies, innovative therapeutic approaches, dietary management strategies, and multidisciplinary models of care that are transforming outcomes for patients affected by these chronic immune-mediated disorders.
Course Overview
Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) and Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Disorders (EGIDs) have become increasingly recognized as important causes of chronic gastrointestinal symptoms in both pediatric and adult populations. Advances in understanding disease mechanisms have led to new diagnostic tools, targeted biologic therapies, and individualized treatment approaches that are changing clinical practice.
This full-day symposium provides practical guidance for identifying patients with suspected EoE and EGIDs, establishing accurate diagnoses, implementing effective treatment strategies, and monitoring disease activity over time. Through expert-led presentations, clinical case discussions, and multidisciplinary perspectives, participants gain actionable knowledge that can be immediately integrated into patient care.
