Educational objectives

After participating in this educational activity, participants should be able to:

  • Analyze potential mechanisms and risk factors of persistent postsurgical pain.
  • Describe a multidisciplinary approach for prevention and treatment of persistent postsurgical pain.
  • Examine transitional pain service economics and obstacles.
  • Discuss current and the future transitional pain service models.

Target audience

The ASRA CME program provides educational activities to physicians, residents, fellows, nurse practitioners, psychologists, and scientists. ASRA supports a multidisciplinary and interprofessional approach to continuing education and patient care by also providing relevant education for other healthcare professionals not directly engaging in interventional regional anesthesia and/or pain medicine procedures. ASRA offers learning opportunities to the national and international healthcare community.

This activity is focused on the surgical patient and the transition of acute to chronic pain and opioid use. The learning objectives are applicable to all health professions engaged in the continuum of pain care. Participants will learn public health impact and healthcare system costs associated with persistent postsurgical pain and discuss the state of the science in terms of preoperative identification, prevention, treatment, as well as the opportunities for future research and change implementation.
