Certification Content Areas


AE_OPiOiDS_2 (1)

Over the last decade, healthcare providers (HCPs) have been on the frontlines regarding the use of opioid analgesics to manage chronic pain. Opinions continue to flourish, with many professionals gravitating to one extreme or another, either utilizing opioids too much, too little, or in some cases not at all. HCPs face medical decisions every day revolving around prescription opioid medication utilization. However, so few are armed with the education to make those decisions based on best practices, and thus do not have confidence in transcending the plethora of published guidelines. The need for opioid education has grown in relation to the increased scrutiny of treatment decisions by insurance companies and regulatory agencies. To address this need, PAINWeek has created the Advanced Education Opioids Certification Series to enable practitioners to successfully treat their chronic pain patients with a full understanding of the risks and benefits of this class of analgesics. 

This certification comprises 15 CE/CME hours of modules with self-assessment quizzes, PLUS a bonus 4 hours composed of three segments: 1) summaries of key learnings, 2) case studies, and 3) faculty panel discussion.

Healthcare professionals are part of the supply chain of every prescription medication, although risks may arise once the products are transferred to another person outside of any healthcare relationship. Because of this, clinicians need to always progress, utilizing best practices in pain management to ensure safe and efficacious pain management to the highest degree possible. In the last decade, interest in cannabinoids—specifically cannabis, primarily CBD—has increased, as a nonaddictive alternative to opioid analgesics. Interest on the part of patients and practitioners has fueled an enormity of research to better understand the therapeutic potential of a plant that has been used medicinally for thousands of years. This Advanced Education Cannabinoids Certification Series provides an expansive understanding of a class of chemical compounds that may evolve into safe and effective analgesics. 

This certification comprises 11 CE/CME credit hours of modules with self-assessment quizzes, PLUS a bonus 4 hours composed of three segments: 1) summaries of key learnings, 2) case studies, and 3) faculty panel discussion.

AE_PALLiATiVE_CARE_1 (1)

Palliative care has been described as an extra layer of support for patients and their families dealing with a serious or advanced illness. The Advanced Education Certification Palliative Care Series provides the learner with a broad spectrum of topics that will facilitate the development of a highly applicable skill set when caring for this population. The series begins with the origin of hospice and palliative care in the US, using data to support the impact of palliative care. Additional topics include an overview of communication and healthcare decision-making and psychosocial/spiritual/cultural care in serious illness. The balance of the series provides practice information on the assessment and management of physical pain and an opportunity to develop expertise in the pharmacology of nonopioid, opioid, and adjuvant analgesics. Participants will develop expertise in the management of nonpain symptoms including gastrointestinal, cardiopulmonary, neuropsychiatric, and genitourinary. We will also describe alternative routes of medication administration, deprescribing, and best practices in educating patients and informal caregivers. Rounding out this program will be 5 case-based sessions where learners can apply and pull together all the information taught in this series. Palliative care touches every field, every practice, and potentially every patient and family. This is an outstanding opportunity to acquire the skills to provide superior care to this vulnerable population. 

This certification comprises 20 CE/CME hours of modules with self-assessment quizzes, PLUS a bonus 4 hours composed of three segments: 1) summaries of key learnings, 2) case studies, and 3) faculty panel discussion.
