TARGET AUDIENCE
This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of dermatology clinicians who manage patients with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (AD).

STATEMENT OF NEED
Many physicians who treat patients with AD are not aware of recent changes in the understanding of AD pathogenesis and the emergence of treatment strategies to more successfully target the cause of the disease. Furthermore, the guidelines for AD treatment differ between allergists and dermatologists, leading to wide divergences in how individual patients may be cared for by each specialty. Lack of appropriate treatment strategies in AD may fail to prevent the “atopic march” as dermatitis progresses to allergic rhinitis, and then asthma. Finally, one of the greatest barriers to the treatment of AD is the lack of adherence to prescribed treatment regimens, which is rooted in the inability of physicians to adequately include patients in their decision- making process and address patients’ concerns about their disease, their impaired quality of life, and their desires with regard to treatment.

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to:

  • Describe the pathogenesis of AD and discuss how the underlying pathology of the disease can be used to direct therapy
  • Utilize current therapies and describe how to utilize emerging treatments for AD based on safety and efficacy data, pathophysiology, guidelines, individual patient needs, and sustained efficacy, especially in patients with moderate to severe AD
  • Manage quality-of-life issues, psychosocial comorbidities, and treatment-related anxiety in patients with AD
  • Engage the patient as a partner in their care plan to ensure best treatment adherence and outcomes
