The JDD Steroid Stewardship Podcast

Welcome to a special JDD podcast series, The JDD Steroid Stewardship Podcast. It is a 12-episode series that will run through 2026, and pairs lively expert conversations with practical, evidence-based strategies. We will unpack care gaps and corticosteroid overuse, spotlight steroid-sparing approaches and emerging non‑steroidal therapies, and explore evolving standards and cross‑specialty guidelines. Expect clear guidance on steroid selection, duration and tapering; ways to recognize misuse and its clinical consequences; patient-centered communication to address steroid-related fears; and strategies to reduce disparities in prescribing and outcomes.
This activity is supported by an educational grant from Arcutis.
