11th Annual John D. Loeser Pain Conference: Strategies for Chronic Pain Management
The Mountaineers
7700 Sand Point Way NE
Seattle, WA
The John D. Loeser Pain Conference provides cogent, evidence-based and useful information for primary care providers of all kinds. Chronic pain is a very common complaint, and many providers find treatment challenging with or without opioid prescribing.
The lectures this year will address many aspects of pain care, including the complexities of chronic opioid use and weaning from opioids, followed by a panel discussion on this topic. There will also be didactics on related topics including neuropathic pain, joint pain, headaches, and back surgery which are commonly encountered by primary care providers in all settings.
Those who may benefit from this educational offering are primary care providers (PCPs) working in clinic settings where they manage and work with acute or chronic non-cancer pain patients. Other interested parties may include providers in rehabilitation medicine, occupational medicine, psychiatry, physical therapy, and trainees in all of the above fields.
All presentations will be provided in a didactic format using Powerpoint slides to provide evidence-based, actionable information that can be used by the primary care provider without additional consultation of staffing. There will be question and answer sessions after each block of lectures. The syllabus will be available online (for conference registrants only).
