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.
