ACP’s six-hour collection of virtual lectures and discussions is designed to highlight best practices in treating and managing pain, a condition that affects millions of patients every year.
Captured directly from the one-day virtual course offered in October 2021, expert faculty discuss various treatment modalities such as non-pharmacologic, non-opioid pharmacologic, and opioids, and will provide information about getting started to prescribe buprenorphine. The role of medical cannabis in pain management will be covered, as well as opioid use disorder and tapering. Practical steps for developing a pain management plan and engaging patients and families in pain management will be shared.
