PART 1, Module 2: Assessment of Pain

This is the first half of a professional development webinar that addressed general principles of pain and its individual variables; how medications sensitize people with developmental disabilities to pain; changes in pain management medications; varieties of chronic pain syndrome. It is intended to benefit nurses, social workers, counselors, and other healthcare professionals who have contact with individuals with developmental disabilities.

This and other webinars in this series are being offered through a collaboration between the Medicare-Medicaid Coordination Office (MMCO) in the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), The Lewin Group, and Research Rehabilitation and Training Institute (RRTI).
