Target Audience: Providers eligible to prescribe opioid analgesics & non-prescribers involved in the care of patients receiving opioid analgesic therapy, nonpharmacologic therapies, and non-opioid medication therapies for the management of pain; physicians, dentists and oral surgeons, residents and fellows, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, and registered nurses.
Summary: Assessment and treatment of pain remain challenging for healthcare providers and health systems. Safe and effective pain management requires competence in the range of therapeutic options including nonpharmacologic approaches and pharmacologic therapies, both non-opioid and opioid analgesics. Treatment with opioid medications can decrease pain functionality but also may result in opioid tolerance, dependence, misuse, overdose, and death. It is important that opioids be prescribed judiciously to prevent and/or mitigate these potential harms.
Time Commitment: 4-hours/6-weeks
Time Period: November - December
Credits: 4.5 AMA PRA Category 1 credit(s)™ and ACPE contact hours
Link to follow. We need 20 people to enroll.
If needed, I will be in costume for any Zoom meetings.
