Grand Rounds are scheduled about once a month, from 9:30 am to 10:30 am
on selected dates. These Grand Rounds provide a forum by which staff members
and visitors can be kept up-to-date on new and innovative research, clinical
and educational issues, especially in the areas of acute and chronic pain
management, management of other symptoms, and end-of-life issues. Grand Rounds
are held at:
Phillips Ambulatory Care Center
10 Union Square East (Between 14th - 15th Streets)
New York, NY 10003
2nd Floor Auditorium
Here is the current Grand Rounds schedule.
Beth Israel Medical Center designates this activity for one credit
hour in Category 1 towards the Physician Recognition Award of the
American Medical Association.
Through this website, we provide state-of-the-art educational modules on a
broad array of topics related to pain medicine. Our first online learning environment,
Clinical Management of Neuropathic Pain: A Problem-Based, Interactive Module,
offering two CME credits, was launched in 2002 and has since
received two industry awards for online learning. Our latest CME-accredited
module, Distance
Learning in Symptom Control: Assessment & Management of Diabetic Painful Polyneuropathy,
offers seven hours of CME credit focused on the assessment
and management of a patient with painful polyneuropathy.
Our educational modules incorporate a problem-based model in an interactive
learn-by-doing environment, using the Web’s capacity to reach
hundreds of thousands of practitioners. Projects incorporate multimedia (video,
audio, or animation) and apply adult learning approaches using actual patients.
In each module, physicians work through one or more chronic pain cases. Background
materials on the etiology, pathophysiology, and syndrome, and comorbidities
are contextually provided. The case assists learners to acquire knowledge
and skills necessary to administer various pain therapies, follow outcomes,
and make changes in treatment approaches over time. These approaches include
pharmacotherapy, anesthesiologic treatments, rehabilitative approaches, psychological
interventions, neurostimulatory treatments, and complementary and alternative
medicine therapies.
Announcements of future modules will be made through this website as these
are launched.
ACCREDITATION: Beth Israel Medical Center and St. Luke's Roosevelt
Hospital Center are accredited by the Accreditation Council on Continuing Medical
Education (ACCME) to sponsor CME for physicians and take responsibility for
the content, quality and scientific integrity of this CME activity. Activities
are planned and produced in accordance with the ACCME essentials.
