DETAILED INFORMATION

In alignment with the National Pain Strategy released in 2016, our program endeavors to train clinical pharmacy specialists to provide interdisciplinary care and specialty assistance to front-line providers and serve as trusted liaisons between substance abuse, specialty pain, and primary care services to bridge the gap and assure improved quality of care. As medications tend to be the central focus for the majority of patients, utilizing pharmacy pain specialists can be critical to success. Even within dedicated residency training programs for pain, the majority have a program focus on either palliative care or acute pain management which are fundamentally different in their approach to pain. Chronic pain management by necessity is rehabilitation focused which requires a holistic approach and partnership with Mental Health.
