A significant number of dermatologists are under-treating moderate-to-severe psoriasis despite the availability of effective agents and professional treatment guidelines. Patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis are at risk for cardiovascular and psoriatic arthritis comorbidities and should be treated with systemic, combination agents to prevent cardiovascular and psoriatic arthritis complication.1,2
In this medical simulation, you will meet Lisa, a 45-year-old woman who presents to you feeling very self-conscious about her skin condition. Navigate this medical simulation and Lisa’s clinical challenges with Dr. Armstrong and Dr. Menter as your guides to improve your knowledge base and clinical management skills in patients with psoriasis.
After you have completed Part I, we encourage you to then check out Not Just Skin Deep: Psoriasis, Part II, to improve your knowledge of psoriasis comorbidities and clinical strategies to improve long-term patient outcomes.
