Regional Masterclasses

AN EXCLUSIVE, COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAM THAT IS CUSTOMIZED TO THE REGION’S UNIQUE NEEDS AND CHALLENGES

Program Description

IPC Regional Masterclasses are designed for early-to-mid-career health care providers interested in improving their expertise in caring for psoriasis patients. This intensive eight to ten-hour curriculum is delivered by international and regional experts, allowing programs to be tailored to address different regions’ unique needs and challenges. The course covers a wide range of topics, including the pathogenesis of psoriasis, disease management, comorbidities, treatment targets, the newest therapies, and rare forms of psoriasis. Enrollment is limited to 60–70 participants to encourage personal interaction with the faculty, ensuring a more focused learning experience.

I was just correcting this in the corporate booklet and did a deep dive into when to use “healthcare” and when to use “health care.” Just FYI: Use health care when referring to providers or the delivery of care, and healthcare only when referring to the industry or system as a whole.

Eligibility varies by Masterclass. Select an event below to see requirements and how to apply.
