OTPP 759 - Clinical Decision Making for Patients with Pain

Description
Clinical Decision Making for Patients in Pain is a three-week, self-paced course which equips clinicians to connect pain science principles to evaluating and establishing a plan of care for those struggling with pain. Topics include patient screening, determining SINS (sensitivity, irritability, nature and stage), identifying dominant pain mechanisms and connecting treatment to those mechanisms. Clinicians will gain skill and confidence regarding goal setting and prioritization of treatment interventions, as well as receiving information on advancing their pain science toolkit beyond the TPS program. Upon completion of this course, a successful learner will have gained the foundational knowledge in preparation and evaluation both subjectively and objectively, using sound clinical reasoning and incorporating the dominant pain mechanism when planning treatment for the patient.
