Revamp Your Approach: Connecting to Resources

November 21, 2024

This FREE continuing education course is designed to enhance your ability to support patients with pain management and substance use disorders (SUD) by learning how to leverage community resources effectively. You will receive practical guidance identifying key care team partners within your community to expand treatment options and improve patient outcomes. You’ll explore how social determinants of health (SDOH) impact access to resources and lead to diverse health outcomes, gaining insight into structural barriers that patients may face.

Also, you will develop personalized strategies for identifying local resources and building essential partnerships to facilitate patient access and referrals. Through facilitated group discussions, you’ll reflect on your own practices, uncover areas for growth, and synthesize new approaches for integrating community resources into your care setting. Join us to strengthen your community connections and adopt a more collaborative, person-centered approach to pain management.
