An exploration of integrative approaches to pain management will be provided through a review of relevant evidence-based literature.
The certificate program is online.
The course sequence is available in the Graduate Catalog.
The Integrative Pain Management Graduate Certificate was developed to provide education regarding pain management practices based on a bio-psychosocial model of care.
Certificate Aims Include:
This highly innovative online program consists of four courses to be delivered sequentially over 2 semesters. The concepts presented in each course will establish a framework of knowledge intended to impart the health care provider with the necessary background to understand and treat pain utilizing effective and relevant evidence-based guidelines.
The curriculum in each course will address the concept of pain beyond the traditional views of interpretation and modulation of nociceptive impulses. Pain not only evolves form tissue damaging stimuli, but may also serve as a consequence of the way stress, sleep, and autonomic nervous system tone affect the brain.
This online program consists of four courses to be delivered sequentially over a two-semester period, as follows:
Spring Semester
Summer Semester
