Advanced Systemic Therapeutics
July 3, 2023 • Singapore
Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre
Held in conjunction with the 25th World Congress of Dermatology
This half-day educational program will feature several well-known experts from the AAD who will discuss the importance of staying current in the uses of systemic therapies and ways to optimize therapeutic regimens for patients with routine or challenging disorders. Registration is free – reserve your seat today!
As the understanding of immune system pathways, cytokine balances, and cellular interactions continues to expand, so must the potential applications of systemic therapies.
Current therapeutic regimens are only as efficacious as your comfort with their utilities, which can only begin with matching the mechanisms of action as well as the safety profiles. Many newer agents have evolved from experimental and conceptual to readily available therapeutic modalities.
Learning Objectives

Determine and identify strategies for optimizing management of systemic therapies to reduce concerns and bias in treating patients of all ages with challenging dermatological conditions.

Select therapeutic options to modify a disease process in addition to alleviate symptoms based on the immune mechanisms that create them.
