Industry non-CME sessions
2020 AAD ANNUAL MEETING IS CANCELED DUE TO COVID-19 OUTBREAK
Due to the limited number of academic faculty able to present at our meeting and other related factors, we are no longer able to host the high-caliber meeting that our attendees and exhibitors have come to expect.
Invigorating industry sessions available in Denver
Don’t miss out on a variety of diverse Industry Non-CME (INC) Programs held March 19-22 during the 2020 AAD Annual Meeting in Denver, Colorado.

Title: Live Medical Crossfire: How Do Recent Pathophysiological Findings in Pustular Psoriasis Have the Potential to Shape a New Treatment Paradigm?
Description: Pustular psoriasis outbreaks can be severe and life-threatening but early diagnosis is hindered by its rarity, heterogeneous presentation, and lack of consistent classification. Furthermore, at present there are no standard therapies and only limited evidence-based guidance with available agents. However, recent clinical, histological and genetic evidence has provided new insights into the pathophysiology of pustular psoriasis, allowing for new therapeutic targets with novel treatments. During this live Medical Crossfire®, a multidisciplinary panel of experts will share their insights on diagnosis and disease severity assessment, possible pathophysiological pathways involved in the development of the disease, and the clinical profiles and mechanisms of action of available and emerging agents for the treatment of adults with pustular psoriasis. Throughout the program there will be a focus on individualizing disease management to improve patient outcomes and quality of life. Participants will be encouraged to interact with the panel through audience response technology.
