Teaching Chronic Pain in the Family Medicine Clerkship: Changes From 2014.

CONCLUSIONS: The majority of family medicine clerkships teach about chronic pain, and the amount of time dedicated to this topic has increased over the last 5 years. A state's opioid overdose rate correlates with the amount of time spent teaching about opioids, but does not correlate with the amount of time teaching about other chronic pain subtopics. It is possible that the opioid crisis is causing a shift in the subtopics of chronic pain teaching. PMID: 32401329 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
