Pain Management For Your Practice
A One-Day Course Featuring Concurrent Sessions for Physicians and Nurses/Allied Health Professionals
August 15, 2009
Kalahari Resort
Sandusky, Ohio
Description
This one-day course focuses on the concept that chronic pain should be considered a disease and not just a symptom. Various chronic pain conditions will be discussed and state-of-the-art approaches in diagnosis and management will be considered.
The course begins with a shared set of lectures for all attendees. After lunch, two tracks are available to the attendees:
- Physician track - when surgery is an option, sacroiliac pain, and chronic pain rehabilitation.
- Nursing/Allied Health Care professional’s track - complex regional pain syndrome or reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome (CRPS/RSD), physical therapy, diagnostic maneuvers, and basic anatomy.
The emphasis will be focused on how the health care professional can sort out the nature of chronic pain, and what they can do to help their chronic pain patients to improve their quality of life. Special emphasis will be placed on interventional pain management options and when to consult the pain management specialist.
Target Audience
This course is designed for family, general, and physical medicine and rehabilitation practitioners, internists, orthopedic surgeons, rheumatologists, neurologists, geriatricians, physician assistants, nurses, and other health care providers who care for chronic pain patients.
Objectives
After completing this activity, the participant will be able to do the following:
- Summarize how to administer opioids.
- Integrate the chronic pain rehabilitation program as part of their pain management plan of care.
- Determine which patients would best benefit from treatment in the Chronic Abdominal Pain Clinic.
- Demonstrate various diagnostic maneuvers and basic anatomy when defining pain.
- Recommend when a patient becomes a surgical candidate.
- Describe how to deal with the difficult patient.
