OVERVIEW

Clarifying the Clinical Applications of Photodynamic Therapy: Current Concepts and Use in 2018 is organized by Evolve Medical Education (EME) LLC and will be held from Aug 01, 2018 - Aug 31, 2019. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 1 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.

Target Audience:
This certified CME activity is designed for ophthalmologists and retina specialists involved in the treatment and management of patients with retinal disorders.

Course Description:
Eye care professionals may not know how to effectively identify patients who will benefit from photodynamic therapy (PDT) or understand all of the clinical scenarios in which the use of PDT alone or in combination with anti-VEGF can be a more efficacious treatment option. This educational activity is a result of a roundtable discussion focusing on the clinical situations where PDT is appropriately implemented as well as the associated challenges with the use of this therapy.

Course Objectives:
Upon completion of this activity, participants will be better able to:
• Describe the clinical benefits of PDT, especially in patients who have a poor response to anti-VEGF therapy.
• Discuss methods for effective PDT, including dosing, infusion periods, and determination of treatment size.
• Differentiate the benefits of half-fluence PDT and full-fluence PDT.
• Discuss the application of PDT in the clinic.

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
