Treating Pain Safely: An Update for Prescribers
Apr 13, 2023 Open Medicine
Description
In recognition of specific education on opioid use disorder (OUD) and innovative treatment for chronic and/or acute pain, this workshop will provide updated information on evidence-based treatment modalities including non-opioid alternatives to pain management. Medical providers will gain tools to reduce the risk of opioid overdose, treat pain safely, and the skills to screen and treat substance use disorders (SUDs) in a patient-centered way. Participants will gain knowledge on:
• Updated tapering recommendations for patients on chronic opioid therapy
• Enhanced information on harm reduction strategies
• Emerging data on postoperative pain management for patients with OUD
• Addressing stigma and bias that prevent patients from receiving the best care
This program was designed to satisfy, in full, the North Carolina Medical Board's CME requirement for controlled substance prescribers. Per NCAC rules: As of July 1, 2017 all physicians (other than residents), physician assistants, nurse practitioners, podiatrists, and dentists who prescribe controlled substances must satisfy the controlled-substance prescribing CE requirements as set forth by their licensing boards; requirements vary by discipline and board.
