Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a challenging disease for both patients and healthcare providers. It has been hypothesized that early diagnosis and better treatment of AD at the primary care level may reduce the risk of allergy and asthma, thus decreasing patient distress and lowering future medical costs. While there is not yet a cure for AD, new treatments are available to manage the condition and offer new hope for patients and clinicians.
In this CME Outfitters recorded symposium expert faculty provide new insights into AD and will strengthen clinicians' knowledge about the pathophysiology of AD, improve early diagnosis. and share practical insights, evidence and expertise about new agents for the treatment of AD.
At the end of this CE activity, participants should be able to:
- Apply knowledge of the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis (AD) to make better informed treatment decisions.
- Increase identification of signs and symptoms of AD by 25% to improve differential diagnosis.
- Integrate data from recent clinical trials on novel treatment strategies into clinical practice to optimize patient outcomes.
The following learning objectives pertain only to those requesting CNE or CPE credit:
- Explain the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis (AD) and how it leads to more informed treatment decisions.
- Identify signs and symptoms that can improve differential diagnosis.
- Discuss data from recent clinical trials on novel treatment strategies that can optimize patient outcomes.
Supported by an educational grant from Sanofi Genzyme and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals.
Primary care physicians, internists, dermatologists, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses, and pharmacists who treat patients with atopic dermatitis.
