MONTCLAIR, N.J., June 7, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- At PAINWeek 2018, the program agenda will be augmented with 4 registration-only, limited attendance workshops designed to provide an in-depth examination of critical topics in pain management. The half- and full-day workshops will be led by senior PAINWeek faculty teams, and require a supplemental conference registration fee.
Working With Old Molecules: Lipstick on the Pig...or Mama's Got a Brand New Bag, scheduled for Wednesday afternoon, September 5, will address critical issues with monitoring and dosing methadone, including risk stratification for candidate selection, the implication of drug interactions, and the nuances of monitoring. Buprenorphine's intriguing pharmacology will be covered, along with dosing guidance for chronic pain. Participants will also learn how to treat acute pain in a patient receiving methadone or buprenorphine as part of an opioid agonist recovery program. The workshop will be led by senior PAINWeek faculty members Mary Lynn McPherson, PharmD, MA, MDE, BCPS, CPE, and Douglas Gourlay, MD, MSC, FRCPC, FASAM. "Practitioners today have a reasonable understanding of traditional opioids such as morphine, oxycodone, hydromorphone, and fentanyl," Dr. McPherson observed, "but there is less familiarity with buprenorphine and less comfort with methadone. Dr. Gourlay and I look forward to sharing some clinical pearls about these alternatives that have a place in the pain treatment armamentarium."
The registration fee for this workshop will be $165.00. To maximize the workshop experience, participation will be limited, and early registration is encouraged. Please click to register register to register and learn more.
