PROGRAM OVERVIEW
This enduring program is designed for allergists, otolaryngologists, primary care clinicians, and other clinical team members who manage chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps. In this program, we will aim to discuss the burden and pathophysiology of CRSwNP, review guidelines for diagnosis and short- and long-term management, look at clinical data and biomarkers on current and novel anti-inflammatory biologics, and teach clinicians how to apply best practices for the interdisciplinary development of individualized treatment plans for these patients. We will use a combination of didactic lecture, video animations, and patient cases to effectively teach clinicians who manage this condition.
