The Erdheim-Chester Disease Global Alliance (ECDGA) was honored to host Dr. Julio Santori-Valinotti of the Mayo Clinic during a special “Expert Hour” at the ECDGA booth at the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) Annual Meeting in Denver.
A highlight of the session included meaningful conversations between Dr. Santori-Valinotti and Linh Vo, a medical student. Photos from the event capture Dr. Santori-Valinotti discussing ECD with Ms. Vo, reflecting the importance of mentorship and education in advancing rare disease knowledge.
Throughout the Expert Hour, attendees were able to ask questions, share experiences, and gain insights directly from Dr. Santori-Valinotti.
The ECDGA booth served as a hub for education and connection during the conference, bringing together healthcare professionals and advocates committed to improving awareness and care for those affected by Erdheim-Chester Disease.
ECDGA extends its sincere gratitude to Dr. Santori-Valinotti for his time, expertise, and dedication to advancing awareness of ECD within the dermatology community.
