Empire Medical Training offers 12 training programs and workshops to help medical professionals expand their knowledge in effectively diagnosing and applying pain management techniques, improve patient outcomes, increase satisfaction and promote a better quality of life.

Promote Better Patient Outcomes

Pain management is not a one-size-fits-all specialty. Chronic pain is associated with a variety of conditions, including migraines, cancer, arthritis and nerve injuries. With appropriate treatment, patients can find relief by receiving medical care from a physician specializing in the latest pain management techniques. Through a pain management course, physicians can learn how to perform comprehensive examinations, provide a diagnosis using modern technology and medical history and develop an accurate and effective treatment plan. By enrolling in pain management CME and learning how to tailor these techniques to each patient and situation, physicians can improve patient health outcomes and help them manage their symptoms.

Enhance Quality of Care

Learning how to deliver proper pain management and provide relief to patients begins with identifying the underlying source of the pain. You can only apply proper interventional pain management techniques after correctly identifying the source. Pain management courses that cover differential diagnosis and evidence-based treatments of chronic pain can help you develop individualized treatment plans that prioritize patient safety, enhancing their quality of life.

Prevent Adverse Outcomes

Pain significantly impacts a patient's life and may cause physical restrictions that make it hard to perform daily activities. It is also a source of emotional distress and can lead to harmful psychological impacts, including grief, depression, frustration and hopelessness. Patients who aren't able to achieve relief may also experience sleep disturbances, leading to fatigue and increased stress. If left untreated, opioid misuse may develop in an attempt to achieve relief. By learning proper pain management techniques and applying these strategies when treating patients experiencing pain, physicians can have a substantial effect on their quality of life and satisfaction with care.
