Join the community waitlistWelcome to another episode of the Modern Pain Podcast. In this episode, Dr. Mark Kargela discusses the shortcomings of continuing education (Con Ed) in pain management and proposes solutions for clinicians. Key Topics: • Mismatch Between Con Ed and Clinical Practice: the environments of Con Ed courses often don't resemble real clinical settings, limiting their applicability in managing complex pain cases. • Isolation in Clinical Practice: Many clinicians find themselves isolated when applying modern pain science and techniques, lacking peer support and mentorship in their practices. • Logistical and Financial Challenges: Con Ed often imposes financial and lifestyle burdens on clinicians, making it difficult to integrate continuous learning into their lives.
