The Pain Paradox: Providing Effective Relief While Mitigating Risk
Howard Heit, MD; Douglas Gourlay, MD; Paul Arnstein, PhD RN

Improving patient care by providing you with best clinical practices and “clinical pearls” for stratifying and monitoring risk in patients being treated for pain is the goal of this CME activity. Using the IDEAL™ (Interactive Digitally Enhanced Atmosphere for Learning) Learning Center format, this activity begins with an interactive visual and auditory learning session in the Education Gallery and culminates in the Teaching Rounds, an interactive small-group learning experience. The Education Gallery presents best clinical practices in treating the pain patient and includes interactive, self-assessment questions throughout. The Teaching Rounds offers the opportunity to interact with experts and their peers in sessions with live-programmed patients and to practice “clinical pearls” in dealing with everyday issues of treating patients with pain. We invite you to share your own experiences with your colleagues and hope you enjoy this dynamic format. This educational activity will be considered a success if it improves knowledge of pain management and increases comfort level in appropriately prescribing controlled substances. IDEAL provides participants with an opportunity to interact in a lesson and then practice skills with peers and experts.

The Pain Paradox: Providing Effective Relief While Mitigating Risk IDEAL™ CME activity is co-sponsored by Global Education Group and Educational Awareness Solutions. The educational program is supported by an educational grant from Purdue Pharma L.P.
