The NASPGHAN and APPSGHAN Joint Webinar was created to foster unity and collaboration between our societies. We aim to learn from each other by sharing our knowledge and different perspectives on pediatric gastrointestinal diseases. This first webinar will focus on two distinct topics:  COVID-19 impact and implications in pediatric gastroenterology and Non-IgE food allergy, for each topic there will be a speaker from each society highlighting the east and the west perspectives.
