The mechanisms and mediators of pain at the cellular level have evolved as social mediators.
Clinicians spend a great deal of time focused upon pain at a patient-by-patient level. Yet pain is experienced as, and acts upon, a group of interrelated systems from levels of the individual to the society as a whole. Group processes (e.g., family, job, culture, religion) mold the experience and response to therapy of acute, chronic, and cancer-related pain.
Chronic pain has a corrosive effect upon family, social and vocational functions. It furthers isolation, which in turn exacerbates pain and suffering. Failure to address the social dimensions of pain can render rehabilitative efforts futile.
Pulling from a lifetime of research and clinical practice, Dr. Carr’s Legacy Lecture charts a path through:
Learn to better-establish rapport with patients, uncover root causes and patient motivations that will increase adherence to treatment plans, and address suffering in addition to the anatomical sources of pain.
This lecture is a blend of neuroscience, social psychology, economics, cognitive psychology, genetics, heredity, and developmental biology.
This course addresses requirements for physicians and surgeons to participate in continuing education that includes specified instruction in the understanding of implicit bias in medical treatment.
