Course Overview

Psoriasis is a chronic, immune-mediated inflammatory disease with heterogeneous clinical phenotypes and a substantial impact on quality of life. Contemporary management requires accurate assessment of severity and special-site involvement, recognition of common comorbidities, and thoughtful selection of topical, phototherapy, oral systemic, and biologic therapies. This continuing education activity reviews immunologic mechanisms of psoriasis and modern therapeutic targets. Learners will also compare established and emerging treatment classes and review real-world challenges, including variable treatment response, adverse effects, treatment access and cost, and medication switching. Practical, team-based considerations are emphasized, including patient counseling, safety monitoring concepts, adherence barriers, and strategies for coordinating care across outpatient settings.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this educational activity, participants should be able to:

  • Describe the clinical manifestations of psoriasis
  • Identify common psoriasis medication types and dosage forms
  • Recognize common process and safety issues that should be escalated to the pharmacist
