PPR 6007 Advanced Pain Management and Introduction to Hospice and Palliative Care
Lecture: 3 Lab: 0 Practica: 0 Total Credits: 3
This course builds on the foundational knowledge about pain management taught in PPR 6710. Students will go over cases and concepts about pain management in more depth than covered in PPR 6710. This course also introduces students to hospice and palliative care. Students learn how medication therapy changes as a patient’s condition, goals of care, and prognosis change. Students are introduced to management of both common diagnoses and symptoms in hospice and palliative care patients. Small ethical discussions involving appropriate therapy at the end of life occur. The course gives students the opportunity to practice looking up drug information questions and giving verbal pharmacotherapy recommendations.
