- the epidemiology of chronic pain
- the patho-physiology of pain
- patient assessment
- psycho-social contributors to pain and suffering
- physicial examination, investigation and diagnosis
- techniques of chronic pain management
- interventional approaches to chronic pain
- pharmaco-therapy of CNCP
- complementary approaches to the treatment of chronic pain
- universal precautions in the use of opiods to treat chronic pain
- assessment and treatment tools
The second part of the training is a clinical preceptorship where newly trained physicians are partnered with experienced practitioners to co-manage a prescribed number of patients through their treatment program, ensuring consistency and quality of care.
Once credentialled by CPM's Program Medical Director to practice in a CPM Health Centre, each physician must attend a prescribed number of hours of continuing education in chronic pain to maintain their status.
