Offers CE

The Center to Advance Palliative Care (CAPC) is partnering with RE-UP—a unique education program focused on the intersection of serious illness, chronic pain, and opioid complexity, including substance use disorder—to offer this workshop.

In this interactive one-hour workshop, attendees will hear case studies of patients with serious illness who have chronic pain, with or without concurrent substance use disorder. Attendees will discuss the cases together to determine safe, effective, and evidence-based pain management prescribing strategies for each patient—all while building a trusting patient-clinician relationship.

Clinicians from all care settings, working with all patient populations, are encouraged to attend. Prior completion of the workshop, Managing Pain at the Intersection of Serious Illness, Chronic Pain, and Substance Use Disorder, is recommended. CAPC membership is NOT required, but members receive discounted registration.

Learning Outcomes:

Discuss the use of buprenorphine for chronic pain or opioid use disorder in people with serious illness
Describe a safe buprenorphine rotation
Use the seven principles of buprenorphine initiation for patients with serious illness, accounting for individual patient factors

This learning activity is designed to meet the Federal MATE Act requirement for new or renewing DEA licensees for 1 hour of training on opioid or other substance use disorders and the appropriate treatment of pain.
