AGENDA
Welcome and Introduction
Understanding the Pathophysiology of COVID-19
Recognizing Clinical and Patient Features that Increase Risk of COVID-19 Infection and Associated Complications in Patients with Inflammatory Skin Conditions
Recommendations for Managing Dermatology Patients in the COVID-19 Pandemic
Q&A Session

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Patients with inflammatory skin conditions like atopic dermatitis and psoriasis are at greater risk for infection or complications from COVID-19 due to their high-risk comorbidities and use of immunosuppressive medications. These patients require specialized care during this time to reduce their risk of exposure and infection. This activity, “Dermatology and COVID-19 in the Outpatient Setting: What Clinicians Need to Know” will provide dermatology clinicians with the most up-to-date guidance on managing patients with inflammatory skin conditions during the current pandemic, including information on the pathophysiology of Sars-Cov-2, the risk of infection in these patients, and strategies to manage patient care and counsel through telemedicine.
