How PAs are Improving Skill Sets to Approach Opioid Use

Access Activity

Overview / Abstract:

A 2017 survey of physician assistants (PAs), data showed PAs are prescribing opioids and managing patients with pain in their practice; they’ve also expressed a need for education on both prescribing opioids and managing their patients with opioid use disorders – particularly in underserved populations.

In this free CME Snack, Dr. Gold and Ms. Catherine Judd share insights on best ways to approach opioid use while discussing the importance of gathering comprehensive patient histories – including substance use, integration of motivational interviewing, listening to patient stories, and the wellness aspect of treating patients with pain. It is imperative that clinicians set aside time to communicate thoroughly with patients about the medications they are being prescribed to avoid misuse and establish a positive patient-provider relationship.
