Topics in Pain Management is a monthly informational newsletter intended for academic and clinical anesthesiologists, neurologists, psychiatrists, physical and rehabilitation physicians, neurosurgeons, as well as residents in those fields and other practitioners with an interest in pain management.
The target audience’s need for this continuing medical education activity is supported by documentation provided through a review of the medical literature, surveys of the target audience, an analysis of the pain management publication market and expert opinion.
This newsletter is intended to serve as a single, comprehensive source on relevant topics that will help keep the target audience abreast of the latest developments in the field of critical care. The newsletter offers educational instruction on clinically relevant topics including but not limited to advances in pharmacology, interventional procedures, as well as clinical reviews of specific pain syndromes.
Topics in Pain Management is unique in focusing on a specific topic in each issue, providing a comprehensive and practical review while also incorporating the most recent research data pertinent to clinical practice. Practitioners will benefit from up-to-date information provided by experts who have significant “hands-on” experience in the chosen topics.
Practitioners also will have a self-test opportunity to reinforce their learning experience and to obtain CME credits. An evaluation assessment questionnaire following the CME quiz in each issue will confirm the quality of each educational activity, the value and use of the learned material in their practice, confirm the credit designation and activity expiration dates, gauge the fairness and balance of each activity, and provide practitioners with the opportunity to suggest topics for future issues.
Given the increasing clinical demands and reduced time to attend live educational programs and conferences, Topics in Pain Management will provide a convenient home/office-based alternative for professionals seeking continuing medical education.
