Program Overview
This CME activity, derived from content presented at Maui Derm for Dermatologists 2021, will highlight recent advances in the treatment and management of moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis, particularly in the adult patient population. The expert faculty, Drs. Jonathan Silverberg and Eric Simpson, will first review the immunopathology of atopic dermatitis, as well as current guidelines for both adolescents and adults. Recent clinical trial data, including that of JAK-1 Inhibitors, will be analyzed and clinical implications debated in an interactive panel format. The expert faculty will conclude with a review of the vital role that the interprofessional team plays in educating and caring for patients with atopic dermatitis. Upon completion of this educational activity, learners will gain insight into how to better care for and manage their patients with atopic dermatitis.
