2024 Year in Review: Dermatology Highlights and Key Literature
Description
The 2024 Year in Review presentation on dermatology highlights commemorates the legacy of Doctor Steve Katz, whose previous reviews inspired current speakers to continue sharing significant developments in the field. The focus is on uncovering relevant literature that medical dermatologists may not actively seek, emphasizing the integration of data from non-dermatologic sources. The objective is to present notable findings from the last twelve months, covering various aspects of dermatology, including skin cancer, pruritus, and the impacts of new treatments such as CAR T therapy and Jack inhibitors. This year's discussions will include chronic issues like prurigo nodularis, psoriasis, food allergies, and chronic spontaneous urticaria, aiming to equip dermatologists with a broader understanding of recent advancements. The first speaker, Doctor Donald Kondrones, Chair of Dermatology at KU Medical Center, is set to introduce the initial set of talks.
