  • Recognize the possible risks associated with topical, cryosurgery, photodynamic, or combination therapy for adult actinic keratosis and how to reduce it.

  • Identify performance indicators, associated tools, and resources that aid in the assessment and improvement of the quality of addressing topical, cryosurgery, photodynamic, or combination therapy.

  • Recognize known gaps and barriers for patient adherence to topical, cryosurgery, photodynamic, or combination therapy for the treatment of adult actinic keratosis.

  • Name roles the dermatologist can play in improving patient adherence to topical, cryosurgery, photodynamic, or combination therapy.

  • Identify quality tools that aid in the assessment and improvement of the quality of addressing topical, cryosurgery, photodynamic, or combination therapy.

  • Recognize the benefits of UV protection in adult patients with actinic keratosis or who may be at risk of developing actinic keratosis.

This guidelines-based course offers 0.75 CME credits.
