Course Description
This 2-day, virtual program aims to re-evaluate pain management through a set of pain management principles covering pain pathways & pathophysiology, analgesic strategies, and optimal routes of delivery to facilitate targeted and personalized approaches and options. Participants will gain greater awareness on how to effectively target pain pathways and reduce systemic adverse side effects by recognizing:
- Distinct pain types & pain pathways
- Analgesic targets
- Pharmacotherapeutic options beyond oral dosage form
- Multimodal therapies
Case assessments across various pain/pain-related conditions will allow participants to apply their knowledge and actively identify unique pain mechanisms involved and determine appropriate analgesic strategies and treatment options.

Intended audience
Pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, physicians, nurse practitioners, and other healthcare providers looking to get into or are currently engaged in pain management.
Learning Objectives
Pharmacists
- Identify challenges in pain management including adverse systemic reactions, inadequate therapeutic outcomes, poor patient compliance, and the need for education in pain management.
- Classify different types of pain, notably nociceptive pain, neuropathic pain, functional pain, and mixed pain.
- Investigate the neural systems and sensitization processes involved at each level of the pain pathway, including the periphery, the dorsal horn, the ascending pathway, the brain, and the descending pathway.
- Evaluate and organize current evidence on analgesic pharmacology with special focus on pharmacodynamics, efficacy, safety, and dosing of over 40 analgesics.
- Utilize fundamental concepts of topical therapy, including skin anatomy (target layers), physiology (lipids, hydration, temperature, pH, metabolism, and microbiome), individual differences (age, ethnicity, and sensitivities), and formulation consideration (delivery systems, premade base concepts, penetration enhancers, among more).
- Apply skills and knowledge in the form of case assessments and formula investigations for common pain or pain-related conditions.
Pharmacy Technicians
