This course will meet the new government-mandated requirement for all DEA-registered practitioners to complete eight hours of training on the treatment and management of patients with opioid or other substance use disorders prior to applying for or renewing their license.
Pain in pediatric patients is common, under-recognized, and undertreated. Unrelieved acute, chronic, and needle pain in childhood directly results in poorer clinical outcomes, including increased morbidity, degree of anxiety, needle-phobia, health care avoidance, and chronic pain, which may contribute to substance use disorders.
Focused on pediatrics, this online course addresses pain management and opioid state medical board CME requirements. It also meets the new DEA requirements, found in the Medication Access and Training Expansion (MATE) Act, to complete eight hours of training on the treatment and management of patients with opioid or other substance use disorders prior to applying for or renewing their license.
Developed for general pediatricians, pediatric subspecialists, other pediatric clinicians, and allied health professionals, this evidence-based course includes clinical content and question-and-answer sessions from the AAP’s 2023 Acute and Chronic Pain course.
