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?

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.

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

I have listened to you speak before, excellent work and it’s appreciated
 
Need more people to sign up. Come argue with me and get free CME. I see you Bedrock! DRusso. Hyper. PainApp. SSDoc, Duct.
There are a thousand lurkers for each one of us. Join in. I will send each course completer a gift from my office and an autographed picture.

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.

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.
 
Do we have to complete modules tonight? Link please ?

Bumping this thread.

This CME closed and a low completion rate. I was asked to do another one for 5 hrs CME. My response to the company sponsoring was this::

I would love to log into the lectures to assess content and length of time it would require to complete. Last session I proctored had terrible completion rate because the CME/hr was awful. If each module is more than 10-12 slides no one would want to do this. Also, last session I proctored had biased content that was not consistent with clinical practice.

Please let me know if I can take a peek.

Steve




Full disclosure: I do not want to waste people's time or provide any bias other than my own.
 
As someone who had limited outpatient opioid management exposure during training what I’m ideally looking for is the practical day-to-day stuff - learning what your policies are, how you handle different situations, and where you’ve seen other providers get in trouble. I unfortunately couldn’t make the zoom call so I know I missed a great chance there. No idea if it is possible to make CME out of that or if that is too much work, but I’d join something like that even if CME was not provided.

I will create a new thread for the next cme. Promise to be quicker than last time. No zoom, but im sure if we wanted, could do a Q&A.
