Chronic Pain Management
| Contact person: |
The chronic pain rotation is a high volume, ambulatory care experience with a focus on multidisciplinary care. Residents will be exposed to a wide variety of pain syndromes that are increasingly prevalent in family practices. Educational content focuses on high yield physical exam, pharmacotherapy for chronic non cancer pain and integration of physical rehabilitation services. Opportunities available for hands-on interventional management with nerve block techniques.
Residents will have the opportunity to initiate consultations and follow their patients along different treatment modalities. They will be rotating through our rehabilitation department with close supervision from physiotherapists, chiropractors and acupuncturists. Residents will be expected to attend in-house educational rounds when available.
Scheduling: Can take one resident for four-week elective. Max three/year.
