PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Plaque psoriasis is an immune-mediated, chronic, inflammatory condition that represents a significant physical and psychological health burden to those afflicted with the disease. It is extremely diverse in its clinical presentation and is associated with a wide range of comorbidities, posing a significant challenge to healthcare providers with regard to both diagnosis and treatment. Despite the availability of a wide range of therapeutic options and highly detailed guidelines for the care of patients with psoriasis, current evidence indicates that evaluation and treatment is inadequate and, furthermore, that patient satisfaction is very low. Educational interventions are required to aid clinicians in their efforts to provide better management of the disease by choosing optimal treatments tailored to the individual characteristics of each patient.
