PROGRAM OVERVIEW
This enduring virtual activity targets healthcare gaps related to the diagnosis, treatment, and individualized management of AD, impacting outcomes through identifying burdens affecting quality of life, assessing disease severity when considering topical vs systemic intervention, and utilizing strategies in shared decision-making when determining guideline-based care.
- By addressing these gaps, you can assess whether your approach to AD management through utilization of current treatment guidelines, individualization of care through the “step-up care” approach and strategies for disease severity assessment – can be modified to help close these gaps.
- Expert discussion will guide you in analyzing and identifying challenges to AD management, the relationship with Type 2 allergic co-morbid diseases, and how to navigate proactive vs reactive control.
- You will also be immersed in interactive, animated simulation case studies to memorably highlight key points related to assessment of, and treatment decisions for AD.
