Pain Management & Opioids: A Patient-Centered Approach (P03 Evaluation)

The CO*RE 2024-2025 features a newly revised curriculum developed by nationally known experts in pain management, addiction, and opioids with a patient-centered approach. Content thoughtfully balances the risks and benefits of opioid prescribing, provides the latest insights in this vital healthcare area including effective patient assessment, creating patient-centered pain treatment plans, non-pharmaceutical pain treatment options, managing patients on opioid, analgesics, educating patients and caregivers, and addressing opioid use disorder.

Sponsored by The American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine, this newly updated course is designed to meet the FDA’s Opioid Analgesic REMS.

The course curriculum is fully compliant with the FDA’s September 2018 FDA Blueprint for Opioid Analgesic REMS Education and the 2022 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Clinical Practice Guideline for Prescribing Opioids for Pain. This session also meets many states’ requirements for controlled substances CE. 

This course meets The Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Medication Access and Training Expansion (MATE) Act

The curriculum was developed by the Collaborative for REMS Education (CO*RE) http://core-rems.org and is supported by an independent educational grant from the Opioid Analgesic REMS Program Companies (RPC).
