Educational Innovations Leveraging Technology for Nurse Practitioner Students to Learn Pain Management

Innovative teaching modalities in curricular content and delivery of pain education for NP students are important given that at least 20% of adults suffer from chronic pain in the United States. In addition, at least 2 in 3 NPs perceive having lack of confidence and competence in managing patients with pain. Transforming pain education for NP students is necessary especially with advancing technology in this digital era. Academic programs can greatly assist in preparing NPs into pain practice to improve pain care among our patients.
