PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Rashes…pediatric nurse practitioners (PNPs) see them all the time. However, atopic dermatitis (AD), also known as eczema, is not just any rash. It is a disease caused by an inflammatory immune response that affects much more than just the skin. It can have severe, lifelong consequences in all aspects of children’s lives. Fortunately, there are now many effective treatments for even the most severe cases and youngest children — down to 6 months of age. This gives PNPs an important role to play in the therapeutic management of infants, children, and adolescents who are affected by AD. Join pediatric AD expert Dr. Peter Lio for the latest advancements in treatment, curated specifically for PNPs.
