Abstract

The goal of this presentation is to describe an approach to teaching a comprehensive view of pain control that was developed over the past four years. The course “The Perception and Control of Pain” was taught as a four week elective during preclinical training to a combined group of medical and dental students. It represented for most students the only opportunity for formal instruction in a broad view of pain that included a behavioral perspective and behavioral techniques of control. It was both didactic and experiential to the extent allowable.
