To provide optimal care, specialists need foundational education regarding the etiology and pathophysiology of AD.

They would further benefit from case-based AD education to facilitate the application of the foundational learning into clinical practice.

• Describe the current theories of the pathophysiology of AD
• Identify and apply the diagnostic criteria for AD
• Employ strategies to manage patients with mild-to-moderate and moderate-to-severe AD
