Target Audience
The activities are designed to meet the educational needs of managed care pharmacy directors, registered nurses, clinical pharmacists, quality directors and medical directors.

Statement of Need/Program Overview
Managed care professionals report having limited knowledge of EoE pathology, noting that misdiagnosis and underdiagnosis are common issues preventing patients from receiving timely and accurate treatment. In conditions like EoE, where understanding of the disease mechanisms is still developing, managed care payers may not prioritize these conditions highly. Therefore, managed care professionals must understand the disease, treatment protocols, and evidence-based practices to identify effective, safe, and cost-efficient medications for their formularies. A deeper understanding of T2 inflammation will enable these professionals to collaborate more effectively with specialist physicians, ensuring that care plans are comprehensive, aligned with clinical guidelines, and free from unnecessary administrative barriers to appropriate care.

Educational Objectives
After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to:

Track 1:

• Describe how T2 inflammation plays a central role in EoE pathophysiology
• Summarize safety and efficacy of treatments for patients with EoE

Track 2:

• Describe how T2 inflammation plays a central role in EoE pathophysiology
• Assess payer care management initiatives and other opportunities to improve treatment access and overall quality of care based on current evidence from clinical trials and treatment guidelines
