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

These courses are not a typical “death-by-PowerPoint” lecture. The Maverick online content is designed to be modular, bite-sized, and interactive. The modules are filled with interactive presentations, ultrasound videos, pre & post-tests, knowledge checks, and landmark target practice activities. These modules are asynchronous allowing participants to take the course at their own pace and at their own location.

The modules were developed by practicing CRNAs with many years of experience in the field of regional anesthesia, education experts in the field of Pedagogy from Texas A&M University, and instructional design professions

*Students must complete the online didactic modules before attending the hands-on cadaver lab. 

Hands-On Cadaver Lab

The hands-on 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 a realistic feel when performing the injections, as if you were injecting a real patient, and live models provide the opportunity for live scanning and assessment.
