Description of CME Course
Primary Care Clinicians are at the front line of two powerful health challenges—managing pain responsibly while confronting the realities of opioid misuse and dependence.

Clinicians will explore the newest insights in pain management, from innovative non-opioid therapies and multimodal treatment approaches to practical tools for identifying, managing, and tapering opioids safely.
Built around real-world cases, expert guidance, and evidence-based strategies, this program equips clinicians with the knowledge and skills to relieve pain, reduce risk, and elevate the quality of care for every patient.
