The prime directive for health care providers is to know enough to help our patients. Experience is a great teacher, but we often get so busy with our practice that we fail to extract the "lessons learned" from our experiences. Wouldn't it be great if there were a place where our lessons learned could be incorporated with those from other practitioners, and mixed with the latest from academia. In short, if we could go back to school. The University of Edinburgh is just such a place, and it is available right on your desk through an interactive online learning environment.
The program is based on the globally accepted IASP curriculum for pain management, organized by leading academics, and presented by an extraordinary team.

The result is an invaluable opportunity to explore one of medicine's most complex and dynamic fields. The content of the program is immediately and beneficially
applicable to the daily practice of all of the multidisciplinary disciplines that comprise comprehensive pain management. Far and away the most valuable and enjoyable of my 18 years of post-graduate training.
I have found this course very exciting. The mixture of discussion and case studies made the learning very effective. The course is very flexible. I have been able to learn at a time that suits me. As the course is very intense, time management is paramount. There are a number of professionals on the course from diverse backgrounds and I have learned from my peers also.
The Pain Management course is inspiring and, in my opinion, how learning should be - student centred.
