Despite advances in the treatment and management of dermatologic conditions such as psoriasis, significant disparities in both treatment and outcomes persist for patients from racial/ethnic underserved groups. Patients of color are not only more likely to present with more severe disease, but they are also more likely to receive either no treatment, or only topical treatments, despite wide availability of effective biologic medications. In fact, Black patients with moderate to severe psoriasis are 70% less likely to receive biologic treatment than their White counterparts. It is imperative that each member of the multidisciplinary care team works together to address these disparities in order to improve equity in treatment and outcomes for all patients. In this CMEO BriefCase, expert faculty will utilize case-based learning to illustrate these pervasive disparities through the stories of two patients, Miguel and LaToya, while offering strategies to integrate therapies that optimize long-term outcomes and address racial/ethnic inequities in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with psoriasis.
