PAINWeekEnd Nashville will prepare attendees...to achieve better outcomes for their patients with pain.
MONTCLAIR, N.J. (PRWEB) May 06, 2019
PAINWeekEnd on June 1 and 2 at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Nashville Downtown, 315 4th Avenue N, in Tennessee, will be an educational and exciting program providing busy clinicians and allied healthcare practitioners with 12.0 hours of relevant, practical instruction in the management of chronic pain.
The Tennessee Board of Medical Examiners requires 40 hours AMA PRA Category 1™ credits every 2 years. Of these 40, at least 2 credits must be in prescribing controlled substances. Specialized CME in pain management is required for providers of intractable pain management. Last year, Governor Bill Haslam signed new legislation in support of TN Together, a multifaceted initiative to address opioid abuse and misuse in the state. The legislative component limits initial opioid prescriptions to a 3-day supply and revises the schedule of controlled substances to better track, monitor, and penalize illegal drug distribution and use. The initiative also boosts funding for treatment services, law enforcement resources, and provides for additional first-responder ability to deliver emergency naloxone treatment.
PAINWeekEnd Houston will prepare attendees to comply with these and other stipulations, and to achieve better outcomes for their patients with pain. Course topics will explore the management of different pain syndromes, provide strategies for navigating the complex legal and regulatory landscape of pain practice, and convey the latest information on cutting edge topics in pain. In his course How Central is Central Poststroke Pain? senior faculty member Michael Bottros, MD, will discuss what we know about the mechanisms underlying this neuropathic pain disorder.
He will also present Mirror, Mirror on the Wall: Graded Motor Imagery to Treat Complex Regional Pain Syndrome about which he explained, “Graded motor imagery (GMI) is a comprehensive program aimed at sequentially activating motor cortical networks of the disordered limb to improve neural reorganization. In this course, we will discuss the leading mechanisms for the development of CRPS, along with a review of GMI and its outcomes as well as other treatment algorithms.”
