International Pain School
Train the Trainer Program
Experts in different fields of pain have created Lecturer Tool Boxes, each one addressing a different aspect of pain management, such as assessment, pharmacology, treatment of acute and chronic pain. The Tool Box includes slides for a 45 minute talk and a handout. The handout will be used by the Trainer-to-be while preparing to study the information in the talk (= Train the trainer) and by the participants as a resource during the talk and for future reference.
Each Tool Box follows a uniform format with regards to its structure and layout. The talks do not intend to provide the audience with a scientific update or a comprehensive review but with down to earth and practical information about a certain topic related to management of pain, including, when relevant, practical treatment algorithms and case reports to clarify the information provided.
