Pain diagnosis, treatment and safe narcotics Prescription workshop
Pain is a useful signal of its underlying disease.
This course is designed to provide a roadmap for the differential diagnosis of pain in different areas of the body. The end goal is to share the ability to use characteristics of pain as clues to discover the underlying disease. We emphasize the detection of regular as well as malignant causes of pain. Our approach seeks to improve diagnostic accuracy, minimize the risk of error, and reduce medical liability.
For a vast majority of pain conditions arising from musculoskeletal etiologies, most primary care doctors can provide initial treatment such as joint, bursa, muscle or nerve injections. We aim to provide you with the tools you need to better serve your patients’ medical needs by providing the opportunity to learn and hone your injection techniques through hands-on practice.
The course also provides 3 hours of education about medically-indicated narcotics and their contraindications. Safe prescription of narcotics, regular usage monitoring, abuse detection, and remedies for opioid overdose and withdrawal will be covered, as well.
