Advancing CSU Management Through Empathy and Evidence

Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) places a substantial and often overlooked burden on patients, leading to delays in diagnosis, inadequate symptom control, and significant unmet needs despite advances in treatment. This program empowers clinicians with up-to-date, patient-centered strategies to improve diagnosis and management of CSU. Through a combination of patient insights and expert-led discussions, participants will explore strategies to align care with the latest evidence, treatment goals, and patient preferences. Interactive communication-focused scenarios will model effective conversations that address misconceptions, barriers to care, and the emotional impact of CSU, highlighting the value of interprofessional collaboration. Participants will leave with actionable approaches to optimize outcomes and enhance the patient experience across the CSU care continuum.
