Out with the old and in with the new. As healthcare changes, so does the way that healthcare professionals interact and collaborate. Never has this been truer in the model of multidisciplinary/multimodal pain management. In an effort to treat patients from a biopsychosocial-spiritual model of care, it really takes a village. This timely lecture will focus on the importance of managing pain with a team based approach, through the review of complex case studies on common, otherwise challenging to manage pain scenarios. Focus will be placed on educating the audience about pain physiology, pharmacology, interventional management, and complementary treatment modalities. Cases will be evaluated from multidisciplinary perspective.
