The Maverick Chronic Pain Series is designed for medical providers currently practicing, starting, or investigating the pain management field. The lack of comprehensive pain education for medical providers and an overwhelming number of patients suffering from chronic pain is the driving force behind the need for this education. Medical providers in pain management must be adequately educated in the physiology, assessment, and diagnosis of pain as well as the variety of treatment options in both the acute and chronic pain settings.

Each course in the Chronic Pain Series includes online didactic modules and a hands-on cadaver lab. The online didactic material is delivered in an interactive and engaging format, with pre-recorded lectures, interactive quizzes, and hands-on exercises designed to prepare the learner for the cadaver lab.

Online Didactic Modules

Students must complete the online didactic modules before attending the cadaver lab. The modules are an interactive online learning system that allows students to complete course prerequisites at their own pace and preferred location. The didactic material can be completed in approximately 8-10 hours independently at the user’s own pace.

Users can access content from any computer, tablet, or any other device with an internet connection.

Cadaver Lab

The cadaver lab will focus on the skill acquisition of fluoroscopy-guided (Basic & Advanced courses) and ultrasound-guided (US course only) pain interventions. Using the latest in education strategies, the lab allows learners numerous repetitions at each station, utilizing cadavers and live models, to achieve a strong level of competency and confidence.

Our Cadavers allow for for life-like feel when performing the injections and live models provide the opportunity for live scanning and assessment.
