14 Continuing Education (CE) ...OVERVIEW
Getting Comfortable with Pediatric Chronic Pain - A Comprehensive Course for Rehabilitation Professionals is organized by Education Resources, Inc. (ERI) and will be held from Apr 18 - 19, 2026.
Description:
Increase your understanding and application of modern pain science for the evaluation and treatment of adolescents with chronic pain. Explore pain neurobiology, the biopsychosocial approach within the complexities of chronic pain, common risk factors and diagnoses, and evidence-based treatment recommendations with an interdisciplinary treatment model.
About 1 in 5 kids and teens will experience chronic pain during their formative years, yet providers who feel confident working with chronic pain in pediatrics are difficult for families to find. Chronic pain affects youth participation and function across their daily activities, from movement and mobility for self-care to play and leisure, and even school attendance and engagement in learning. This course is designed to increase the pediatric rehabilitation professional's understanding and application of modern pain science for the evaluation and treatment of adolescents with chronic pain, helping to build a stronger and larger community of therapists comfortable in the care of youth dealing with persistent pain.
In this two-day course, we'll dive into the most up-to-date understanding of pain neurobiology, integrate the biopsychosocial approach within the complexities of pediatric pain, review common risk factors and diagnoses, explore the literature on the effects of pain stigma and biases, and get experience with evidence-based treatment recommendations for therapists within an interdisciplinary treatment model. With a mixture of didactic and case-based learning, this course will be structured in both large and small groups to allow for solidification of new information and real-time application.
Course Objectives
At the conclusion of the course, participants will be able to:
- Interpret current pain neurobiology as it relates to pediatric persistent pain.
