Dear Colleague:
In April 2006, the Opioid Management Society, in association with the Journal of Opioid Management, presented the first Opioid
Education Program in Boston, Massachusetts. It was
such a great success—over 90 percent of the
attendees rated it “excellent” or
“very good”—we’ve decided
to present this intensive, two-day program in the
following cities: Chicago (Sept. 16–17),
Philadelphia (Oct. 7–8), Miami (Oct.
28–29), and Houston (Nov. 11–12). I
invite your participation and am confident these
two days will prove to be two of the most important
for your practice as it relates to the use of
opioids for your patients.
As conference leader, I will
be ably assisted by a renowned team of specialists
in a program designed to inform physicians,
pharmacists, pain specialists, and other opioid
prescribers in the uses, abuses, and legal
ramifications of these powerful, quality of life
enhancing painkillers.
Our goal with this
educational program is to offer guidance to all
opioid prescribers in how to
safely prescribe and responsibly manage these drugs. And because there are legal ramifications, all aspects of the abuse issue will be dealt with from a legal standpoint. This is the exact kind of program every physician and pharmacist need to protect themselves from overzealous law enforcement officials while learning to properly and adequately prescribe opioids for their patients.
Included in the program will
be in-depth coverage such as:
• How opioids interact
with other medications
• Managing your practice
• Documentation and the
DEA
• Tapering someone off
opioids
• Hazards of long time
opioid use
• Medico-legal risk
management
• Understanding opioids—what
do they do and how
• Addictions and doctor
shopping
• Types and uses of
opioids
• Dosing levels by types
of pain
• Rotation of opioids
• Opioid toxicology and
drug testing
Sign up now with the
registration form on the back.
Registration for this program
is very limited.
Very truly yours,
Robert E. Enck, MD
