WEBCAST: Emerging Issues in the Art and Science of Pain and Symptom Management DPMPC 10th Anniversary Celebration In the decade since the Department of Pain Medicine and Palliative Care at Beth Israel Medical Center, New York, was founded as the nation's first academic department devoted to the two specialties of pain medicine and palliative care, great strides have been made in both disciplines. This webcast highlights some of the key advances in pain research and pain medication, as well as quality-of-life concerns in the medically ill. Learn about ongoing controversies in chronic pain management and palliative care. Examine how healthcare providers use opioids in patients with histories of substance abuse or addiction and review the latest interventional strategies for pain management. This presentation also features how physicians weigh the risks and benefits of opioid therapy for cancer and noncancer pain and their use of opioids in breakthrough pain.
