PTs/PTAs in Washington State:
In Washington State courses provided to Physical Therapists (PTs) and Physical Therapist Assistants (PTAs) do not need to be pre-approved by any official authority in order for the PT/PTA to receive CEUs. It is the responsibility of the PT/PTA to determine whether or not a course is applicable to their scope of practice. Please review the course content on this website to make your determination. If you deem this course eligible and attend, after the course you will receive a completion certificate listing the hours of education received from the course for your submission records.

The current COVID-19 pandemic has changed our daily lives in many ways and even more so affected the way we deliver healthcare. While much of the world stopped, the need for healthcare in all specialties, including pain management, continues. Health care professionals are faced with the challenge of providing and mastering virtual care options quickly and effectively. As Telehealth is an emerging field, most primary-care and specialty providers were ill-prepared for this quick transition, in need of knowledge of and strategies for online technology options to ease their way in caring for their patients.
Managing comprehensive care plans for patients with pain was already complicated before this pandemic with changing opioid prescription guidelines, new non-pharmaceutical care options, and the emerging questions from patients of the role of cannabis in pain care (especially in states like Washington where recreational use is legal). Health care providers need strategies and information to give patients with pain the best evidence-based, comprehensive care options during these changing times.
This symposium will give health care professionals the knowledge and skills to navigate pain management for patient care in an increasingly virtual world. It will detail virtual care strategies, and discuss the evidence-based pros and cons of cannabis use, safe opioid prescribing guidelines, and alternative methods of pain management. Expert faculty will highlight new technologies to consider when creating comprehensive pain management plans for patients. This information will enable attendees to update their practices for this emerging online healthcare world and provide the best care options for their patients with pain.
