The popularity of this course is in large part due to the variety of topics presented, many of which are derived from prior participant suggestions, recent advances in medicine and paradigm shifts in medicine. This course also devotes ample time to questions from the audience. This course has two sessions: October 3-6 and October 17-20, 2024. While the same 30-minute presentation topics are included for both sessions, the faculty and order of presentations may vary. In addition to the didactic format for lectures, the program includes two daily question-and-answer sessions; and audience participation is encouraged through the use of Vevox.
  • The Biopsychosocial Approach to Treating Pain - Livestream (Virtual)

    October 5, 2024 - Livestream only broadcast in Central Time - Rochester, Minnesota This series is open to Mayo Clinic employees only Pain affects individuals of all ages and backgrounds. Healthcare professionals encounter those who have chronic pain in a multitude of practice settings. The United States Department of Health and Human services declared that “patients with acute and chronic pain in the United States face a crisis because of significant challenges in obtaining adequate care, resulting in profound physical, emotional, and societal costs” (2019). This workshop will provide healthcare professionals with a better understanding to the biopsychosocial model for pain as well as the biological, psychological, and sociological factors that contribute to the development and persistence of pain as they relate to the treatment process. Standardized assessments and interventions will be presented that practitioners can take straight to practice.
