Overview of Osteoarthritis and Guidelines for Its Management
PCPs often address pain in primary care settings; surveys of ambulatory care visits to outpatient clinics in the US indicate that nearly all PCPs regularly treat patients with pain. Additionally, clinical treatment of pain falls short of alignment with knowledge of effective pain management. This webinar seeks to address these knowledge and practice gaps among PCPs.

- Describe the guidelines for pain management in osteoarthritis
