Please join us for a UVM CORA Community Rounds Workshop Series session, “Acute Pain Management Following Surgery: Safe Opioid Prescribing and Strategies to Reduce Opioid Overprescribing” presented by Marjorie Meyer, MD, Professor of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Sciences, UVM Larner College of Medicine, Burlington, VT. This presentation will outline strategies to optimize pain control and reduce opioid overprescribing in the post-operative period. Learning Objectives: 1) Pre-operative planning: post-operative expectations, pain control, and function following surgery, 2) Recognition of the high-risk patient for opioid misuse following surgery, 3) Prediction of post-operative pain control needs, discharge prescription planning, post-operative pain presenting to the rural primary care provider (ie: not the surgeon), 4) Special considerations regarding pain management with surgery, including patients receiving MOUD.

The University of Vermont Center on Rural Addiction (UVM CORA) presents the Community Rounds Workshop Series live monthly. The goal is to provide opportunities for health professionals to learn, ask questions, and discuss topics related to science-based best practices for substance use disorder. Participants can expect about 45 minutes of presentation followed by 15 minutes for questions and conversation. A recording of the session and slides will be shared following the presentation. Registered participants will also be added to UVM CORA’s listserv and receive notifications for future events. If you do not wish to be added to our listserv, please contact us at CORA@uvm.edu.
