PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Atopic dermatitis is a chronic, relapsing skin disease which places a significant burden on patients, resulting in a lower quality of life. In moderate-to-severe disease, patients also suffer from high levels of psychological distress, increased prevalence of psychiatric diseases, and increased risk of cardiometabolic comorbidities. During this Medical Crossfire®, dermatology experts will engage in a multidisciplinary roundtable moderated by a family physician with the additional perspective of a patient’s treatment journey as video clips throughout the discussion. Topics covered include disease manifestations, diagnostic criteria, pathophysiology of moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis and treatment approaches with both current and new and emerging therapies. Faculty will emphasize the importance of individualized treatment plans in a patient-centered approach.

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
After completing this activity, clinicians should be better able to:Outline the burden of atopic dermatitis (AD) on patients.Discuss the most recent information on the epidemiology and pathogenesis of AD, and how this is likely to affect the management of patients with AD.Analyze how older and newer therapies fit into the AD treatment paradigm.Clarify how a multidisciplinary, patient-centered, approach to care may improve patient outcomes in AD.
