New AAFP LearningLink Activity

Practical Aspects of Chronic Pain Management: A Case-based Approach, the fifth activity in the AAFPlearninglink.org Chronic Pain series includes 3 case vignettes that are used to demonstrate and reinforce issues and challenges family physicians often encounter when treating patients with chronic pain:

  1. managing a new patient requesting a refill of pain medication,
  2. negotiating treatment goals and managing residual pain, and
  3. caring for elderly patients with chronic pain.
