Comprehensive Chronic Pain Management: Improving Physical and Psychological Function
Presenters: Bill H. McCarberg, MD, Steven Stanos, DO, and David A. Williams, PhD

Using a unique, highly interactive, video patient case teaching format, this activity is intended to provide clinicians who manage patients with chronic pain with new insights and expand their understanding to achieve the goals of effective pain management -- reduction of pain, improvement in function, and restoration of psychological health-- utilizing a multidisciplinary (pharmacological and nonpharmacological) approach. Participants will have multiple “interactive” opportunities to reinforce their own best practices or recognize potential gaps in their clinical practice and will receive information to help them accurately assess the severity of pain, evaluate biopsychosocial factors that impact treatment, and develop strategies to meet the goals of therapy and improve patient outcomes.
