Everyone needs guidelines…on demand!



The AAD has published more high-yield, evidence-based guidelines on a variety of topics in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology to help members ensure they’re providing the best and most up-to-date care for their patients.

A recent DermWorld Academy Insider interview with Peggy A. Wu, MD, FAAD, chair of the AAD Clinical Guidelines Committee, and Sara Samimi, MD, FAAD, chair of the AAD Patient Safety and Quality Committee, explains why it’s important to partake in the guideline courses. Access these free guidelines courses.

“These free courses for AAD members are high-yield summaries, led by experts, of the most recent AAD guidance. They provide an opportunity to generate awareness regarding ‘what’s new’ by giving a summary of key recommendations developed or highlighting any updates to a previously published guideline.” ─ Dr. Wu

AAD guidelines were created to provide the most current evidence-based research available on a specific health condition, such as psoriasis, acne, actinic keratosis, or melanoma, and the courses were developed in collaboration between the AAD Guidelines and the Quality Committees and staff teams to provide members with knowledge on how to apply the guidelines into practice.” ─ Dr. Samimi
