Credits Available:

3.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ Target Audience: MD/PA/NP Oncology; MD/PA/NP Dermatology

This small group educational experience is designed for MDs, PA, RNs & NPs involved in the management of patients with basal cell carcinoma (BCC). Key goals of the curriculum are:

• Identify patients for whom hedgehog inhibitor therapy may no longer be viable due to lack of response or adverse events.

• Summarize pivotal data on the efficacy and safety of PD-1 inhibitors, and their practical implications for treatment selection and AE prevention and management.

• Design an interdisciplinary approach to identifying patients with advanced BCC.

• Apply expert guidance to augment guideline recommendations when determining treatment pathways in patients with advanced BCC.

• Identify non-clinical patient needs to consider when assembling an interdisciplinary team to direct treatment and manage patients with advanced BCC.
