What is Pain: Why is it so Difficult for Everyone?
Available until October 17, 2021
David Tauben, MD, FACP

Course Description:
Chronic pain is a common condition affecting at least 50 million US adults, with proportionate burden in children. Pain costs in excess of $700 billion per year, and despite this enormous expense continues to challenge population health. Pain remains very poorly understood by clinicians, patients, and health systems. When doctors, nurses, health systems, patients and their advocates better understand what pain “is” and how it’s assessed we can improve and treatment and outcomes.
