The target audience for this medical event basically for rheumatologists, dermatologists, allergists, infectious disease practitioners, internal medicine physicians, pulmonologists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other health care professionals caring for patients with immunologic diseases. This CME Conference has been approved with a maximum of 9.75 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.

This immunology boot camp bridges the gap between the rapidly evolving fields of immunology so that the practicing clinician may keep abreast of recent advances. Attend for the opportunity to engage with faculty and peers to discuss your most challenging cases in the flipped classroom format and learn about the use of novel agents in the fields of rheumatology, dermatology, allergy, and infectious disease. Get up to speed on the rapid advances in laboratory immunology as it relates to patient care.

Objectives :

• Explain the fundamental pathophysiology of the innate immune response, focusing on the impact of the microbiome and elements crucial to the integrated immune response
• Explain the roles of cellular and humoral elements leading to T cell and B cell activation and deactivation
• Describe how and why naïve T cells differentiate into diverse subsets (eg, TH1, TH2, TH17,Treg) and define their potential roles in health and disease
• Identify potential pathways within the integrated immune response in which studies suggest potential benefit for immune intervention for the treatment of autoimmune and/or autoinflammatory diseases
• Describe recent advances in biologic therapy for rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, psoriatic arthritis, and spondyloarthropathy
• Integrate experience of experts into the diagnosis and management of complex rheumatic diseases.
