METHOD OF PARTICIPATION / HOW TO RECEIVE CREDIT
ACCREDITED PROVIDER
This activity is provided by the Louisiana Nurse Practitioner Foundation (LNPF) under the sponsorship of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners and in collaboration with The France Foundation.
TARGET AUDIENCE
This activity is intended for primary care physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants.
STATEMENT OF NEED
PCPs face challenges surrounding every aspect of psoriasis care, from diagnosis to management to referral for specialty care. Since PCPs are often responsible for evaluation and management of patients with psoriasis, it is crucial that they are prepared with diagnostic skills, familiar with treatment options and guidelines, and aware of scenarios in which referral for specialist expertise is warranted. Mastery of these skills can in turn contribute to improved care for affected patients, who are often dissatisfied with care.
