Chronic pain affects individuals of all ages and backgrounds. Occupational therapy practitioners encounter those who have chronic pain in a multitude of practice settings. The United States Department of Health and Human services declared that "patients with acute and chronic pain in the United States face a crisis because of significant challenges in obtaining adequate care, resulting in profound physical, emotional, and societal costs" (2019).

This occupational therapy continuing education course will provide OT practitioners with a better understanding to the biopsychosocial model for pain as well as the biological, psychological, and sociological factors that contribute to the development and persistence of pain as they relate to the occupational therapy process. Occupation-based assessments and interventions will be presented that practitioners can take straight to practice!

Target Audience: Occupational therapists, occupational therapy assistants, occupational therapy students

This occupational therapy continuing education course uses the following instructional methods: visual aides (ie slides), discussion board, guided note taking, and learning and practice opportunities.

Content disclosure: This course does not exclusively focus on any specific product or service.
