Target Audience

Educational Objectives
After completing this activity, participants should be able to demonstrate improved ability to:

Analyze the role of newly approved and emerging psoriasis therapies in care planning across different disease severities
Identify how comorbidities, patient history, and preferences influence treatment decisions
Assess approaches to enhance timely, equitable access to evidence-based care for individuals living with psoriasis
