Opioid CME 4.5hrs for free (Lobel back at it Nov-Dec 2023)

[lobelsteve]

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.

I am doing the math wrong?

4 hours for 6 weeks is 24 hour commitement.... but you only get 4.5 CME?

4 hours total over 6 weeks (probably 30 min extra time for reading/review) as it is 4.5 CME.

Is this the same as what you'd previously offered? If so its a relatively painless CME opportunity AND you get to hang out with lobelsteve.

 

[Doctodd]

do you have anything to disclose?

 

[drrosenrosen]

Agreed I did this last year and found it easy and enjoyable

 

[lobelsteve]

do you have anything to disclose?

I am getting paid by Gather-ed to host the CME.
I am building an Exocet chassis race car with Tesla Model S P100d motors (dual motor).
I am sad for Olivia (Hammy and Olivia) and her owners.

 

[specepic]

I'm game as long as we can talk lax somewhere in there

 

[gaseous_clay]

Does this satisfy the new renewal requirement for DEA registration?

I hope all is well with you. I am gathering some colleagues to participate in a small-group social learning experience on a digital platform. The course, Meeting the Challenge of Chronic Pain Management in an Ever-Evolving Opioid Epidemic: 2023, offers the opportunity to obtain free CME/CE credit while completing brief learning modules and collaborating with others within the group. The time commitment is extremely modest and flexible; I am confident your experience in the group will be productive and enjoyable. You can learn more and sign up at:

Can residents join this (we don’t need CME but still)?

Would love to have you on board. The more the merrier. It also helps keep the company funded who runs the CME.

Is this the same module we did in the beginning of the year?

Looks to be some new stuff. I went through the modules that closed in February 2023 and some of them are same titles and some is new info.
It only makes it easier as most of this should be a refresher.

Looking for only 10 more brave souls to step into Thunderdome.

 

[lobelsteve]

Enrollment ends in a few days. Any last takers? Anyone already enrolled want to throw down some comments?
Should be wrapping things up in next 2 weeks.

 

[PainMD23]

I signed up

 

[lobelsteve]

Let's get after it people.

I'd like to wrap it all up before end of February.

Some progress being made. As soon as we complete modules (majority), we can schedule the Zoom.

 

[lobelsteve]

Time to wrap it up.

Doing our 30 min Zoom call on 3/20/24 at 530PM

Get after those modules and be ready to tear apart what you disagree with in them.
Like an SDN political thread but on Zoom.
