Target Audience This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of physicians, physician assistants, medical assistants, and nurse practitioners involved in the care of patients with psoriatic disease. Educational Needs Psoriasis is a common skin condition that affects approximately 3.2% of adults in the United States. Psoriasis is associated with a number of coexisting conditions, the most prevalent of which is psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Among people with psoriasis, the prevalence of PsA is estimated to be between 6% and 41%. According to expert KOL opinion, interdisciplinary cooperation between dermatologists and rheumatologists remains a significant practice gap in the management of psoriasis/psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Combined clinics offer a promising care model because they increase collaborative care for patients with complex diseases, enhance professional development, provide unique training opportunities for medical students, residents, and fellows in a setting where they can learn the importance of communication between patients and provider and allow the opportunity to study long-term outcomes and outcome measurements in patients with complex diseases.
