Sunscreen Updates and Skin Cancer Prevention Strategies

Skin cancer remains one of the most common cancers in the United States, making effective sun protection an important component of preventive care. This course reviews sunscreen best practices, common patient questions, and recent updates affecting sunscreen products, including the addition of a new active ingredient to the OTC sunscreen monograph.
