This course will cover a multidisciplinary review of pain including the science of pain, pharmacological interventions and issues around opioid addiction, resources available for providers including the Choose PT campaign, and appropriate therapeutic interventions in the management of pain. This course has been approved for six continuing education units (CEUs) by the Kentucky Physical Therapy Association and the Kentucky Board of Occupational Therapy.

Anyone attending this program for credit must attend the entire session and complete an evaluation. Participants not attending the full program will not secure continuing education credits. KBN approval of the individual nursing continuing education program does not constitute endorsement of program content. Those completing the conference and evaluations will receive six contact hours.
