Course Description:
With the current climate of opioid abuse crisis and increasing numbers of pain patients with opioid use disorder, practitioners need to learn and adhere to evolving best practices regarding prescribing for patient care/safety. This less-than-a-full-day Saturday event will highlight four pain management cases and two pain medicine practice management topics of significant importance to the pain management community, i.e., physicians, nurses, and allied providers. A Moderator/Mentor will lead each of four cases which will be presented by one of the Moderator's Trainees. For each case, a panel of three specialists from varying disciplines/backgrounds will provide multidisciplinary views or contrasting opinions. Plenty of Q&A time is built in for the audience to ask their questions and provide their opinions. Each case presentation will culminate in the Moderator providing Take Home Points, the pearls of the presentations and discussions. The two practice management cases will be topic-based.
EPA is a pain organization.
