Pain Consultants of East Tennessee visited Roane State Community College to discuss chronic pain management with students preparing for healthcare careers.
The audience included second-year occupational therapy assistant and physical therapist assistant students, along with massage therapy students.
Introducing Multidisciplinary Pain Care
Dr. James Choo discussed opioid addiction in East Tennessee and its implications for chronic pain care. He also introduced a multidisciplinary approach that can bring together medical procedures, psychology, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and medication management.
The presentation highlighted how different healthcare disciplines can contribute to an individualized plan of care.
PCET appreciated the opportunity to share these perspectives with students and support their understanding of chronic pain management.
