This course will present theory and research concerning factors (cultural, social, psychological, political, ethical and economic) related to pain assessment, treatment, receptivity to treatment and treatment outcomes. An epidemiologic overview of pain, as well as clinical, societal and institutional policies to alleviate it, are addressed. The patient/clinician relationship and the many factors that influence it are emphasized.

Today’s health care is increasingly delivered by groups of health care providers with diverse professional training, roles and identities. Lack of coordination and communication between health professionals frequently leads to suboptimal or adverse patient outcomes and lower patient satisfaction, carries risk management challenges, and provokes provider dissatisfaction and burnout. This course provides tools to analyze and if needed repair group dynamics within interprofessional teams such as the medical home. Attendees will acquire knowledge and skills for achieving real-world outcomes crucial to patient-centered care, with an emphasis upon pain and its treatment.

This course explores current scientific inquiry devoted to uncovering a western-oriented explanation for the analgesic effects of acupuncture and the clinical applications of this provocative work. An impressive body of research demonstrates acupuncture’s ability to predictably stimulate neuroendocrine responses in humans, even in the absence of a clear correlation between acupuncture points and major neurovascular pathways, with the most convincing findings in the area of pain physiology.
