A lecture from Dr. Scott Strassels, PharmD, PhD (Pain Management; Ohio State Medical Center) and Dr. Michael Schatman, PhD (pain psychologist; NYU)
The Interprofessional Pain and Headache Rounds and Case Studies and Literature Reviews are designed to encourage the exploration across a wide range of academic topics. We invite clinicians, scientists, students, and patients who seek knowledge through interactive seminars and forums which inspire collaboration, reflection, and discourse.
Our primary goals focus on providing evidence-based content, while understanding the importance of exploring empirical support for novel avenues of patient care. These programs are a complimentary year-long lecture series focusing on pain and headaches, although a wide range of topics are covered which are relevant for healthcare providers, researchers, public policy specialists, patients, and other important stakeholders. Our virtual format was specifically developed to provide better access for clinicians and patients who represent underserved communities, and we now provide a platform for assessing the effectiveness of these efforts.
Rounds lectures are presented by the Tufts University School of Dental Medicine Craniofacial Pain Center in collaboration with Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard medical School, and the Harvard School of Dental Medicine. CE is available for dental professionals and psychologists.
Series Objectives:
- Identify risk associated with pharmacological (such as, but not limited to, controlled substances) and non-pharmacological strategies.
- Apply evidence-based strategies for managing the complex patient, including formulation of the treatment plan and termination of pain therapies.
- Explain the limitations of risk-stratification screening, and the necessity of relying on multiple sources of information for clinical decision-making for better patient care and safety.
