The Vanderbilt Office for Continuous Professional Development has approved the meeting for a maximum of 17.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)TM.
DRESS Syndrome is a severe, adverse, hypersensitivity reaction to prescription drugs that causes life-threatening, progressive symptoms. The condition is also known as Drug-Induced Hypersensitivity Syndrome (DIHS).
One in every 1,000 to 10,000 medication exposures will result in DRESS. While most people recover from DRESS, 10% of patients will die from this disease.
By coming together in our first global and virtual DRESS Syndrome meeting, we aim to unite the research and medical communities with the DRESS Syndrome community and deepen our understanding of this relatively unknown condition.
If you are a DRESS survivor or have lost a loved one to DRESS Syndrome, we invite you to join us. Sharing your experiences will help contribute to the discussion on unmet clinical and research needs.
The conference is a virtual two-day event, and registration is complimentary.
