ACP's Pain Management Learning Hub releases new learning materials

ACP's Pain Management Learning Hub has added new learning materials designed to help ACP members improve their pain management skills, prescribe appropriate opioid therapy, and manage opioid use disorder. In addition to the core ACP Pain Management Learning Series previously made available on the hub, the recently released peer-to-peer learning activities include the following:

• Addressing Bias and Disparities in Pain Management, a new episode of The DEI Shift podcast featuring Amber Brooks, MD, a board-certified anesthesiologist and comprehensive pain management physician. Dr. Brooks discusses ways to manage acute and chronic pain and how internists and members of the health care team can address disparities in vulnerable populations.
• Optimizing Pain Management in an Era of Opioid De-escalation, a six-hour on-demand course that highlights best practices in treating and managing pain.
• X-Press: The ABCs of Prescribing Buprenorphine, a video featuring Ann Garment, MD, FACP, who explains principles of buprenorphine initiation and treatment for opioid use disorder, as well as how to obtain a limited license to prescribe buprenorphine.

Each of these activities provides opportunities for ACP members to earn free CME/MOC credit and meet many state-based CME requirements. Visit the Pain Management Learning Hub to learn more about these new educational materials and to access the Pain Management Learning Series core materials, including interactive pain case studies. The ACP Pain Management Learning Hub and its contents are supported by an independent education grant funded by Pfizer, Inc., in partnership with Lilly USA, LLC.
