Description
Join us for an educational webinar exploring best practices in pain management with a focus on patient safety and individualized care. This session will cover how to recognize different types and sources of pain, conduct comprehensive assessments that include risk factors for opioid use disorder (OUD), and develop effective treatment plans using both pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic strategies. Attendees will also learn how to engage patients in shared decision-making to reduce risks associated with opioid therapy. This webinar is ideal for clinicians committed to delivering compassionate, evidence-based care while addressing the complexities of pain and opioid use.
