Raising the Bar on Obesity Management in Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis: A Collaborative Learning Experience for Dermatology and Rheumatology Healthcare Professionals

Psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and obesity are distinct conditions that are interrelated in prevalence and share complex immunopathogenic mechanisms. Evidence indicates that overlap in these conditions results in a feedback cycle that exacerbates each condition’s effects. Join expert faculty for a live interactive program as they explore this relationship and discuss treatment strategies to improve weight and promote metabolic health in patients with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.
