Essential Pain Management Course

With virtually no time to prepare, we ran the Essential Pain Management Course in Butare today.  This is a simple one day course to teach fundamental principles of pain management.

This course was developed by Dr Wayne Morriss, in New Zealand, and Dr. Roger Goucke, in Australia, in 2010.  It has now been offered in over 40 countries around the world.  

We had an enthusiastic multidisciplinary group today: nurses, physicians, anesthesia technicians, physiotherapists, surgeons. 

Tomorrow we will train half the group to be future EPM instructors to ensure sustainability of the teaching.  Then we are off to Nyungwe Forest...
