IPC’S PLAN FOR ADVANCING KNOWLEDGE AND IMPROVING CARE FOR PEOPLE WITH PSORIASIS
Our mission is to improve the health and well-being of people with psoriasis and associated diseases worldwide through education, research, and advocacy.
Our vision is a world free of the burden of psoriasis. People with psoriasis worldwide should have access to the best available care and be empowered to lead healthy, fulfilling lives.
Global Approach: Our international mandate drives us to understand regional contexts and collaborate globally on all aspects of psoriasis.
Collaboration: We engage and foster ongoing discussions and knowledge exchange with all stakeholders, including professional societies, regulatory authorities, public and patient organizations, and corporations.
Unbiased Approach: Our work is based on objective, scientific evidence and information, ensuring impartiality and credibility.
Impact-Driven: Our focus is improving patient outcomes, regardless of geographical location or resource limitations.
Patient Perspective: We collaborate with patients and advocacy organizations to integrate patients’ voices and prioritize their needs.
Diversity: We value diversity in all forms and are committed to fostering an inclusive environment that embraces individuals of different backgrounds, cultures, sexes/genders, and ages.
We believe that psoriasis patients, no matter where they live in the world, no matter how complex their symptoms, should have access to the best care available to them. Please join us in making this possible.

In this video, IPC Councilor Rodrigo Garcia Salinas, MD, a rheumatologist from Argentina, explains how to recognize psoriatic arthritis early, including why joint pain, how long a patient has had psoriasis, and family history can matter more than skin severity alone. He also reviews how imaging helps catch early disease and how to choose treatment based on each patient’s joint, spine, and skin involvement.
IPC President Bruce Strober reviews the link between psoriasis and metabolic disease, drawing on findings from IPC’s recent paper in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology (JAAD). He translates this growing body of evidence into five concrete priorities from the 2025 IPC Think Tank for improving cardiometabolic screening and care.
