Pain Management Program

Pharmacy
Posted on Oct, 05 2012

We have exciting news regarding the About the Patient program.  The NDPSC has entered into a contract with ND Workforce Safety and Insurance (Workers Compensation) to offer a pilot pain management program to injured workers in Burleigh, Morton, Stark, and Walsh counties.  The live program kicked off at the Mid-Winter Pharmacy Seminar on January 29 in Fargo.  It was also recorded for other individuals interested in participating in the Pain Management Certificate Program. 

The goal of the program is to help injured workers better manage the pain from their injuries.  While the pilot program will be comprised of injured workers from four counties, the ND State Board of Pharmacy has provided a grant to offer the certificate program to all pharmacists in the state.  We encourage anyone interested to complete the certificate program.  It contains valuable information that is of benefit to any practice setting.  If the pilot is successful, we hope WSI will offer the program statewide and that we will already have a statewide network in place.
