Pain assessment, management, and evaluation are foundational skills for nurses working in any practice setting. Since these skills are often not thoroughly covered in nursing programs, the EPM course aims to equip nurses with a foundational knowledge base and skills around pain management, from a palliative care approach, that can be applied to your practice. The focus of this course is on the pharmacological management of pain. There are two parts to the course, Essential Pain Management (EPM) and Advanced Approaches to Manage Pain (AMP). Details for each are provided at https://schcontario.ca/programs/health-services/palliative-education/
