Earl Simmons (DMX) gonna give it to ya, a new definition of pain that is!   Back in 2009, a prominent study showed that U.S. Schools of Medicine were barely covering the topic of pain management in respective curricula (weighing in at a mere 9 hours on average), which paled in comparison to numerous other medical conditions. Obviously, the rest of healthcare professional schools, that’s us in pharmacy too, had a reconning to take action and amp up the education on pain management, and of course substance use disorder (SUD), commonly referred to as addiction.   It's been a wild ride, and in this episode of the Pain Pod, Mark “Pain Guy” Garofoli sits down for a chat with Dr. Lucas Hill, PharmD on the intersection of Academia (the Ivory Tower) and SUD.   Come one, come all, to the Pain Pod!!!   Episode References   ·     June 10th, 2022 Time Magazine article “Fewer Than Half of U.S. Pharmacies Carry One of the Most Effective Drugs for Opioid Abuse”: https://time.com/6186319/buprenorphine-overdoses-pharmacy-drug-treatment/ ·     AACP Opioid Efforts Database Submission: https://www.aacp.org/opioid ·     APhA Institute on SUD: https://aphainstitute.pharmacist.com/ ·     Chronicle of Higher Education Article: https://www.chronicle.com/article/one-university-takes-on-the-opioid-crisis/ 2011 Article on U.S. Schools of Medicine 9 hours of Pain Education: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21945594/ Learn more about your ad choices.
