Dermatology CE & Educational Resources
As the body’s largest organ, the skin is constantly working to protect the body’s internal organs and regulate temperature, among other vital functions, and the condition of a person’s skin can reflect their overall health and aging status. Diseases of the skin, such as atopic dermatitis and psoriasis, affect people of all ages and can take a major toll on the patient’s quality of life. CME Outfitters has developed this Dermatology Education Hub with a number of educational activities and resources to help you better treat and manage your patients with aging skin or skin disease in order to increase quality of life.
Our activities offer many credit types, including CME, AAFP Prescribed Credit, CNE, CPE, ABIM MOC, and ABP MOC. Each activity has been designed to meet the requirements for CME for MIPS. See each activity’s information page for the exact credit type and amount of credit offered.
Accurate Diagnosis, Evidence-Based Treatment, and Long-Term Management in Persons of Color with AD

Signals of Change in the Management of Atopic Dermatitis
|
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic, inflammatory skin disease that effects up to 18% of children and up to 10% of adults and can have a substantial negative impact on the quality of life (QoL) of patients and their families. Its management is challenging at any age, with patients and caregivers often becoming overwhelmed by the chronic and relapsing nature of AD. Establishing disease severity is essential to inform treatment decisions, as is information on new clinical trial data for therapies such as oral Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors. Thus, education that provides tools to establish disease severity and information on the development of new agents is warranted in order to mitigate the clinical and QoL impact of AD. |
The Patient Voice: Defining Health Care Disparities in Atopic Dermatitis Care
|
This CME Outfitters Live and OnDemand will feature patient voices in addition to expert faculty discussing the implementation of best practices for diagnosing, evaluating, and treating AD among patients of color, the latest evidence on health care disparities in patients with AD and the impact of COVID-19 on the care of patients of color with AD, as well as the application of optimal strategies to manage patients with AD during the COVID-19 pandemic. |

Mechanistic Rationales for Novel and Emerging Treatments for Psoriatic Arthritis: Plugging the Data into the Equation
|
This CME Outfitters Snack focuses on evaluating the mechanistic rationale for novel and emerging treatments for PsA as well as assessing safety and efficacy data for current and emerging JAK inhibitors to determine their role in the management of PsA in order to help narrow the treatment gap. |
Joining Forces in the Coordination of Care of Patients with Psoriatic Arthritis
|
The final installment of this CME Outfitters Snack series on managing PsA features discussion on the incorporation of patient-reported outcomes into shared decision-making, employing a multidisciplinary approach to coordination of care, and how best to monitor patients with PsO for PsA at each visit. |
Call to Action: Healing Racial Disparities in Dermatological Health
|
In this CMEOCast podcast episode, expert faculty will discuss how clinicians can improve awareness of racial disparities in melanoma outcomes; recognize, address, and monitor their own biases when managing dermatological conditions in SoC; and integrate best practices that account for structural racism and barriers in the screening, diagnosis, and treatment of melanoma and other dermatological conditions in people of color. |
Immune Pathways in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)
|
The first episode of this CMEOCast podcast series on systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) focuses on the heterogeneity of lupus, including the multiple immune pathways that are active in it and how knowledge of immunopathogenesis has informed drug development. |
Safety and Efficacy of Emerging Treatments in the Management of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)
|
However, the future is bright for patients with lupus, as drug development activities are currently unprecedented. In this CMEOCast podcast episode, expert faculty evaluate the safety and efficacy of these emerging therapies. |
Improving the Application of Shared Decision-Making in the Selection of SLE Treatments
