preparing for your boards or just want a comprehensive review of the specialty of pain, this CD ROM program is perfect
for you.
Statement of Need
Over 50 million Americans suffer from chronic pain and nearly 25 million Americans experience acute pain each year due
to injuries or surgery. A 2000 survey of 1000 chronic pain patients indicated that 80% of respondents accepted pain as
a normal part of their specific illness or medical condition and 62% were not completely happy with their doctors, citing
unsuccessful pain treatment as the main reason. The American Medical Association acknowledges that pain of all types
is undertreated in our society and the Joint Commission of Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations instituted pain
management standards in 2001. Physicians of all specialties need information and education in the care and treatment
of pain and pain management professionals require frequent updates on pain management practice to keep current. The
Dannemiller Foundation has been planning and developing certified educational programs in pain management for over 10
years and through years of evaluation, research and outcomes studies, understands the educational needs of physicians
who treat pain patients to improve their patients’ outcomes. This program was specifically designed for this purpose.
