Description: Assessment and treatment of pain are challenges for healthcare providers and health systems. Treatment with opioid medications can decrease pain functionality but also may result in opioid tolerance, dependence, misuse, and overdose. It is important that opioids be prescribed judiciously to prevent and/or mitigate these potential harms. This course presents a novel educational initiative designed to improve healthcare quality, address racial and ethnic disparities and inequities in the care of patients experiencing pain and at risk for addiction.
