Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Medical Education
  • Pain Management

Background:

  • Advanced cancer pain management technologies are available but underutilized.
  • A significant barrier is the knowledge deficit among primary care physicians regarding pain assessment, opioid pharmacology, and interdisciplinary care.
  • Addressing these knowledge gaps is crucial for improving patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a multimedia educational module for primary care physicians.
  • To overcome the knowledge barrier in cancer pain management.
  • To enhance the optimal use of available pain management technologies.

Main Methods:

  • A CD-ROM multimedia module on cancer pain management was created.
  • The module was tested with primary care physicians and residents.
