Pain is one of the main reasons patients come to see medical professionals. We know that 'fixing' the biomedical problem doesn't always resolve pain. We know that there are different types of pain, we know that psychosocial factors play a role, we know that beliefs and context are important.

Come and learn the basic science of the physiology underlying acute and chronic pain and how the nervous system can change; how to identify different pain mechanisms, and how to identify psychosocial factors which make each person either more vulnerable or more resilient to experiencing pain.

Come away with an understanding of pain as a bio psychosocial construct. Be able to identify the different aspects of your patients' pain presentation and a new determination to help patients move through their pain experience.
