Psoriasis in Skin of Color Unplugged: Addressing the Barriers to Patient Care and Relief
Various gaps in the management of psoriasis patients with skin of color (SOC) persist due to a lack of training on SOC and inherent barriers to care. As a result, psoriasis patients with SOC are often misdiagnosed, experience more severe disease, and experience more disease burden. Recent clinical trial data supports the need for nuanced care when treating psoriasis patients with SOC using systemic agents. It is important that clinicians are able to identify treatment barriers and develop strategies to address these barriers and personalize care.
In collaboration with the Skin of Color Society and the National Psoriasis Foundation, this educational initiative will focus on the clinical presentation, disease burden, clinical and therapeutic nuances of treatment, and strategies to address barriers to care and individualize treatment plans.
Target Audience
This activity is designed for an audience of physicians, nurses, and other advanced practice providers (nurse practitioners/physician assistants) in medical practices that specialize in dermatology.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of the educational activity, participants should be better able to:
- Address the barriers to diagnosing psoriasis in patients with SOC.
- Discuss the impact and burden of psoriatic disease for patients with SOC.
- Summarize updates in the treatment of psoriasis, including nuances of treatment of SOC patients.
- Implement strategies to address patients’ barriers to care and build patient-centered treatment plans.
