Statement of Need

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic, inflammatory, musculoskeletal disease with a significant impact on quality of life and functional ability. Despite the data showing the overall impact of PsA, delays in diagnosis are common, which can lead to long-term joint damage and functional disability.

In this CME Outfitters Live and OnDemand activity, expert faculty will focus on assessment, treatment, and management strategies to provide patients with the best treatment aligned with evolving evidence and expert recommendations.

Learning Objectives

At the end of this CE activity, participants should be able to:

• Decrease diagnostic delays through better identification of signs and symptoms of PsA.
• Apply key clinical efficacy and safety data for IL-23 inhibitors to treatment decisions in patients with PsA.
• Collaborate with patients to optimize treatment regimens across the health continuum.

The following learning objectives pertain only to those requesting CNE or CPE credit:

• Describe ways to decrease diagnostic delays through better identification of signs and symptoms of PsA.
• Identify key clinical efficacy and safety data for IL-23 inhibitors for treatment decisions in patients with PsA.
• Summarize how to collaborate with patients to optimize treatment regimens across the health care continuum.
