Live Case Forum 1 (June 12, 2024): Live Virtual/Webcast

The goal of this series is to provide osteopathic primary care clinicians, with evidence-based, multidisciplinary strategies to improve knowledge and competence of pain management with non-pharmacologic and non-opioid therapies and the methodology to safely integrate opioids into treatment regimens to mitigate risks of opioid use disorder while addressing current barriers to optimal management.

• State the role of both prescription and illicit opioids within osteopathic care.
• Discover the appropriate circumstances for prescribing full agonist opioids for chronic pain, guided by osteopathic philosophy.
• Analyze case studies to identify opportunities for using Buprenorphine and Methadone in the treatment of chronic pain or Opioid Use Disorder (OUD).
• Evaluate the skills in early detection of OUD by learning tools and techniques for assessment.
• Assess the risk/benefit profiles of starting, stopping, or modifying opioid prescriptions for pain management.
• Develop tailored treatment plans for patients with pain or OUD to include the significance of continuous management and support and incorporate a range of treatment options such as medication-assisted treatment, behavioral therapies, and support services.
