The College’s new on-demand microlearning series on biosimilars lets you focus on the topics most relevant to your practice. Choose one 15-minute module or complete both for a concise look at the science behind biosimilars and the considerations that arise when bringing them into practice.
Biosimilars Basics: What Clinicians Need to Know
Jeremy Katcher, MD, FACAAI
Build a clearer foundation in what makes a biosimilar “highly similar,” how biosimilars differ from reference biologics and generics, and how the FDA evaluates them through the totality of evidence. The module addresses approval pathways, naming and identification, and how safety, efficacy and immunogenicity factor into the evidence supporting biosimilarity.
Biosimilars in Practice: Prescribing and Patient Conversations
Jared Darveaux, MD, FACAAI
Focus on the questions that emerge in practice, including interchangeability and substitution, coverage and cost, documentation and coding, and available resources. Dr. Darveaux explores common patient and provider concerns, nocebo effects, and ways to communicate about quality, safety and efficacy while supporting shared decision-making.
Two modules. 15 minutes each. Available when you need them. Free for College members!
