A recent publication on the development of a patient decision aid for atopic dermatitis treatments was featured on the home page of Dermatology! The treatment aid was developed to create a simpler, staged approach to discussing eczema treatment options -- driving better understanding and more shared decision-making for patients.

The multi-year project was led by research fellows Wenelia Baghoomian, M.D., M.C.R., Mike Jacobson, B.A., Alex Chang, M.D., and Robyn Okereke, M.D., including contributions by previous residents Drs. Rachel Dunlap and Milie Fang, with faculty oversight from Drs. Eric Simpson and Erin Foster. Full article at our link in bio.

Underscoring this research, several JAK Inhibitors have received FDA approval and are now widely accepted as effective treatments for moderate-to-severe eczema. Read the full article at link in bio!
