The opioid crisis has been declared a national emergency. Physiatrists are at the forefront of treatment of acute and chronic pain conditions, and are frequently asked to manage pain as a method of improving function in inpatient and outpatient settings.
This NEW course, provided by AAPM&R in collaboration with NYU School of Medicine, is designed to assist practicing physiatrists in the management of opioid therapy, including alternative treatments to opioids in treating chronic pain. It is intended to be a real-world, clinically-applicable series of didactic and interactive case discussions. Attendees will leave the course feeling confident in their ability to prescribe opioids safely with a high degree of efficacy, and be able to protect themselves and their patients from the potential ramifications of opioid prescription.
Registration opens in June. Stay tuned for details.
