European School for Advanced Veterinary Studies
Clinical Case Management – Clinical Nutrition
7 live sessions
Management success in Clinical Nutrition – case oriented approach
In the 7 sessions of our online series, we will present a great number of Nutrition clinical cases, which will allow you to take back the experience and knowledge shared by our Principal Course Masters: Dr. Irene Bruckner and Dr. Stefanie Handl into your daily practice.
The Full series consists of 7 online case discussion sessions, each 90-120 min long in which several problems will be interactively discussed in a live format. You will receive reading material prior to the beginning of each session. An open forum will be set up for any questions and discussion for 1 week after each session and a „take home“ guide will be shared with you on our platform. The number of participants is limited in order to provide optimal interaction.

This session reviews the diagnostic approach and management strategies for pruritic skin disease, focusing on food allergy, environmental allergy, atopic dermatitis, and mixed presentations. Nutrition plays a particularly important role in the itchy patient—this webinar connects the dots.
Learning outcomes:
Participants will learn to:
- Differentiate between common causes of pruritus using evidence-based diagnostic pathways.
- Implement elimination diets effectively and interpret results accurately.
- Use nutrition as a tool for controlling inflammation and supporting the skin barrier.
- Communicate realistic expectations and timelines for allergic skin disease management.
