Clinical Insights into Psoriasis in Patients of Color: Bringing New Data to Light
Various gaps in the management of psoriasis in patients with SOC persist due to a lack of training for dermatology practitioners. As a result, patients with SOC are often misdiagnosed, experience more severe disease, and experience more disease burden. Given the predicted increase in the SOC population over the next decades, improving the diagnosis and management of psoriasis in these patients is critical. To improve outcomes in SOC patients with psoriasis, this webcast features esteemed expert dermatologists Mona Shahriari, MD, and Andrew Alexis, MD, MPH engaging in a conversational, expert discussion providing actionable guidance on the clinical presentation, disease burden, clinical and therapeutic nuances of treatment, and strategies to address barriers to care and individualize treatment plans.
