AAD 2024 Acne Guidelines: Development & History
Description
In this presentation, John Kira, a dermatologist from the University of Miami, introduces the session focused on the 2024 Acne Guidelines. He emphasizes the importance of staying on schedule, provides logistical reminders, and outlines the format of the discussions, which will include Q&A sessions after each speaker's presentation. Kira highlights a schedule change where Dr. Weiss will present before Dr. Freeman. He also notes the significance of the guidelines as tools to assist in patient care rather than rigid rules, encouraging clinicians to tailor their approaches to individual patient needs. The first speaker, Dr. Young, is introduced to discuss the acne guidelines.
