Objectives

The conference assumes that clinicians have the fundamentals of prescribing opioids, sedatives, stimulants, and antimicrobials. The lectures will not focus on the science of these medications or the conditions they treat, but rather on the patient’s desire for these drugs. The program will help clinicians recognize limits and set mutual goals of care with patients to better address their pain and distress.
