New Treatment Paradigms in Psoriasis: Understanding and Incorporating Recent and Emerging Trends is organized by Global Academy for Medical Education and will be held from Mar 01, 2018 - Apr 30, 2019.
The target audience for this medical event is intended for dermatologists, residents, internists, primary care practitioners, registered nurses, nurse practitioners, and physi- cian assistants who treat patients with psoriasis. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 2.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.
Conference Description :
Psoriasis-a chronic, inflammatory, immune-system disease that affects approximately 8 million Americans-is often underdiagnosed. Many clinicians do not approach psoriasis as a systemic, immune-mediated disease with multiple comorbidities, including obesity, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, and psoriatic arthritis. Even though half of patients with psoriasis complain of arthritic pain, for example, more than two-thirds of dermatologists lack confidence in screening for arthritic comorbidities. Clinicians also frequently fail to screen patients with psoriasis for cardiovascular risk factors, in part because they are unaware that the presence of psoriasis is associated with poor CV outcomes.
Conference Objectives are :
• Explain the etiology and pathophysiology of psoriasis and its common comorbidities.
• Diagnoseandtreatpatientswithpsoriasisusingtreat-to-targetguidelines.
• Selectappropriatebiologictherapiesforpatientswithpsoriasis.
• Analyze the relationships of food allergy and infection to atopic dermatitis.
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
