Pain Management in the Era of Opioid Abuse

Opioids are powerful and effective drugs that control pain. In this lecture, an optometrist, who is also a pharmacist, will review the history of opioids and their use and abuse, highlighting alternative options and presenting case studies involving the diagnosis and treatment of ocular pain.

This course can be utilized as 2 opioid credits toward license renewal in PA if you hold a DEA license. It also qualifies as TPA credit should you not require it toward your opioid requirement. 

For your information, the PA State Board of Optometry has released a Statement of Policy that live virtual courses and programs with real-time (synchronous) video and audio communication are considered by the Board as live, in-person, continuing education. This course, as well as all our live webinar courses, will meet that criteria. All of our pre-recorded courses will be allocated toward the 15 hours of asynchronous courses allowed.
