The Project ECHO Team at Dartmouth-Hitchcock invites you to join – Kids in Pain: A Multidisciplinary Approach to Pediatric Pain Management

Starting April 20, 2021 and continuing every other Tuesday from 12:00-1:00 pm ET.

Chronic pain has a profound impact on children’s function, mood, and quality of life. This course will engage participants in how to deliver practical, effective, multidimensional care for various types of pain conditions. It will examine the complex, biopsychosocial contributors to the experience of chronic pain and explore the integration of different treatments: pharmacologic, interventionalist, psycho-behavioral, physical and movement therapies, and complementary approaches. Mental health interfaces will be addressed throughout. 

Invited Participants: Anyone who treats children and adolescents living with chronic pain or health conditions, including Pediatricians and care teams, Family Medicine, Pediatric Nurses, Pediatric Anesthesiology, GI, Rheumatology, Neurology, Psychiatry, Social Workers, Child Life Specialists, Pediatric PTs and OTs, and any others with interest.
