A clinical knowledge gap exists regarding nutrition care and management for patients with rare diseases. Clinical practice and research findings are inconsistent, lending to differing practices across patient populations.

Rare diseases, including eosinophilic esophagitis, superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome, and scleroderma are complex conditions that require clinical expertise to provide a more personalized approach to nutrition management and care. This session will begin with reviewing each disease state, followed by interactive case studies that highlight important clinical practice strategies.

By the end of this session, participants will feel more equipped to assess, counsel, and collaborate on care plans for individuals living with these rare diseases, advancing equity and visibility for this underserved population.
