F098 Monitoring Guidelines for Immunomodulatory Drug Therapy
DESCRIPTION
Open admission to eligible categories, no tuition or ticket
In this session, we will review the latest and updated guidelines on the use, monitoring and contraindications for immunomodulatory medications. This will include traditional agents such as prednisone, azathioprine and mycophenolate mofetil, JAK inhibitors and biologics. The lectures will cover medication monitoring, including the selection of appropriate testing, identification of side effects. We will also discuss issues relevant to the pediatric population, and ways to incorporate screening and monitoring guidelines in practice.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Recognize risks and benefits of, and possible complications from immunomodulatory agents used to treat dermatologic diseases.
Select the appropriate screening and monitoring tests for patients who are treated with immunomodulatory medications.
Identify special considerations in the adolescent population, including supporting and coordinating vaccinations.
