Emerging Practices in Pain Medicine and Palliative Care: Advances in Nursing Monday, January 11, 2010 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM Friedman Conference Center, Phillips Ambulatory Care Center Beth Israel Medical Center, New York, NY Nurses are invited to attend a symposium on best practices in pain medicine and palliative care. The nurse’s role in the evolving fields of pain medicine and palliative care is fundamental. Whether assessing and managing a patient’s pain in a hospital setting, or working as a member of an interdisciplinary team caring for palliative care or hospice patients, nurses positively influence patient outcomes. As the fields of pain medicine and palliative care evolve, nurses need to be aware of changing practices based on the “best evidence.” As a department that trains health care professionals in the tenets of pain management and palliative care, we are pleased to offer this one-day conference for nurses and allied health professionals. Through a variety of didactic and interactive sessions, we will highlight the need to understand the changing face of nursing today and provide an overview of best practices. Please join us for this exciting educational opportunity. More information: http://www.stoppain.org/for_professionals/content/education/education.asp
