Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) is a disorder caused by the failure of the pancreas to deliver a minimum/threshold level of specific pancreatic digestive enzymes to the intestine, leading to the maldigestion of nutrients and macronutrients, resulting in their variable deficiencies.

During the initial discussion, speakers will share best practices for:

• Identifying when to suspect EPI.
• Diagnosing EPI: utilizing current testing methods effectively.
• Effective management strategies for EPI.
