Course Description
This course, Multidisciplinary Pain Management: An Evidence-Based Update, is designed for healthcare professionals such as nurses and allied health clinicians who manage patients experiencing pain. It offers a comprehensive, up-to-date exploration of pain management grounded in the latest clinical evidence from 2022 to 2025. The course emphasizes a shift from opioid-centered treatments to multimodal, team-based approaches that integrate validated pain assessment, non-opioid pharmacology, physical rehabilitation, psychological support, and emerging technologies. Special focus is given to the unique challenges faced by older adults, including cognitive impairment and polypharmacy. By completing this course, clinicians will gain the knowledge and clinical reasoning skills necessary to deliver safe, effective, and patient-centered pain care across diverse clinical settings.
