Your Academy is excited to announce the new Pain Management Supplement and Self-Assessment for Practitioners (SAE-P), Current Concepts in Physiatric Pain Management, which accompanies the November PM&R Journal. At the heart of physiatric practice, there is an intrinsic need to manage pain. As physiatrists, you specialize in the evaluation and treatment of patients with neurological, neuromuscular, and musculoskeletal disorders. While the focus of care must be the maximal restoration of physical functioning, there is a requisite need to manage pain in support of this process.
The supplement, guest edited by Academy member Mark Tyburski, MD, includes more than 30 SAE-P questions to assess your knowledge on the topic. The supplement addresses safe opioid prescribing as well as non-pharmacologic options for various patient populations experiencing acute and chronic pain. It also includes updates on opioid medication regulations and treatment of patients with chronic pain in alternative payment models. The Pain Management SAE-P, now available on the mē® Catalog, offers up to 8 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ and helps fulfill your American Board of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (ABPMR) MOC Part II Requirement
