This initiative is designed to address the professional needs of specialty NPs and PAs involved in the care of patients with psoriasis. 

Statement of Need

Plaque psoriasis is a systemic disease manifested on the skin or scalp and associated with numerous comorbidities, including psoriatic arthritis in about 30% of patients. The burden of psoriasis is high, with visible plaques contributing to poorer quality of life for patients, as well as missed work or school, and higher rates of depression and anxiety. Recent years have seen the development of several new, effective treatment options that limit disease severity and improve quality of life.

Learning Objectives

After participating in this education, learners will be able to:

  • Apply current guidelines and patient preferences to the assessment and treatment of patients with plaque psoriasis
  • Explain the role of TYK2 in the pathophysiology and treatment of plaque psoriasis to guide therapeutic decision-making
