PAIN MANAGEMENT POINT OF CARE
Jointly sponsored by University of Kentucky College of Pharmacy and Vemco MedEd

Supported by educational grant from Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc., administered by
Janssen Scientific Affairs, LLC.



OVERVIEW
Given the rapid changes in pain management, effective use of analgesics is constantly evolving to include the latest research. Though the live symposium provides an important foundation for understanding pain management principles, learners will continue to have many questions regarding how to incorporate tactics into clinical practice. Therefore, it is important to provide learners with the skills and resources necessary to search for answers to their specific questions. The Pain Management Point of Care (POC) allows learners to search for answers to their questions related to their own clinical practice.
