Improving First-Year Family Medicine Residents’ Confidence in Safe Opioid Prescribing Through a Multiactivity Educational Program.

Abstract

It is documented that some of the opioids prescribed to manage chronic pain are diverted and used for nonmedical purposes. We investigated whether a skill-based, chronic pain management (CPM) educational program could improve first-year family medicine residents' comfort, knowledge, and concerns in assessing and managing patients who use opioids for chronic noncancer pain.
