  • Review current basic science, clinical, and translational research with regard to its applicability to practice.
  • Describe research investigations that study the mechanisms underlying challenging pain syndromes.
  • Employ key diagnostic and treatment techniques for the management of pain.
  • Address common clinical challenges in the management of acute and chronic pain, including those encountered in special populations.
  • Promote appropriate and safe opioid usage in patients.

TARGET AUDIENCE

The ASRA CME program provides educational activities to physicians, residents, fellows, and scientists.  ASRA supports a multi-disciplinary and inter-professional approach to continuing education and patient care by also providing relevant education for other healthcare professionals not directly engaging in interventional regional anesthesia and/or pain medicine procedures. 

Because pain is a problem for patients with a variety of conditions and across disciplines, the target audience includes any specialist or primary care clinician involved in the treatment of pain and/or pain research, especially those utilizing invasive and non-invasive techniques for pain management.  Other professionals interested in expanding their knowledge in the field of pain medicine, including but not limited to physician assistants, nurses, and scientists working in the basic and clinical science areas, will also benefit from the wide range of educational offerings
