Assessing and managing pain while evaluating risks associated with substance use and substance use disorders continues to be a challenge faced by health care clinicians. How to approach pain management may require understanding the patient's baseline opioid tolerance, as well as determining whether the patient would be better served by adjuvant medications.

Managing Pain in the Patient with Substance Use Disorder is the topic of this week’s OSUMC East Hospital Grand Rounds. James Behany, MD, Assistant Professor of Internal Medicine, is the expert panelist in this MedNet 21 webcast moderated by James Allen, MD, Professor of Internal Medicine. This presentation will be available as an in-person presentation in Wallace Auditorium, today, October 9 at 12:00 noon. Box lunches or lunch vouchers will be available to participants on a first-come basis.
