Educational Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to: 

  • Manage patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis, and understand the lifelong disease burden of AD and associated disorders; 
  • Apply national and international professional association-based guidelines for assessment and diagnosis of atopic dermatitis to the front line of patient care; 
  • Detail the epidemiology, disease burden, and quality-of-life dimensions associated with atopic dermatitis based on severity of disease and health care disparities; 
  • Sequence and combine non-pharmacologic and pharmacologic therapies based on severity of disease, biomarkers, and guidelinedirected roadmaps for optimizing management of atopic dermatitis; 
  • Evaluate, monitor, and intervene in patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis who have treatment failures; 
  • List the scientific advances and improvements in our understanding the pathoimmunobiology of atopic dermatitis, with a focus on novel treatment targets, cytokine signaling systems, Th2 immune response, and the role of interleukin-mediated inflammation in AP; 
  • Explain the rationale for evaluating biologic agents and targeting new mechanisms-of-action and molecular signatures in patients with moderate-to-severe and/or resistant atopic dermatitis; 
  • Apply the results of landmark clinical trials in atopic dermatitis, including those evaluating the safety and efficacy of interleukintargeted therapies, in patients with moderate-tosevere atopic dermatitis.
