September 16, 2020 // Randy Glick

Join us at the 2020 Southern Regional Assembly as Mary Ann Barnes, MD presents this important topic that all healthcare professionals need to hear.

Acupuncture is strongly recommended by professional organizations for management of acute and chronic pain, but most clinicians have limited knowledge of its benefits. The goals of this lecture include reviewing current research on the mechanisms and benefits of acupuncture.

Objectives

  1. Identify opportunities to avoid high risk medications;
  2. Discuss the risks and benefits of acupuncture with their patients.
