| Annotation | Pain is common among older people, yet recent studies have suggested that physicians often receive inadequate training in pain management. This article reports the results of a survey of 78 accredited geriatric fellowship training programmes to explore pain management curricula. Results showed that most programmes provided settings where pain was a major focus of care while only half required experience or rotations in these settings. Forty-three percent of programmes had no faculty identified as having training or expertise in pain management and few had curriculum focused on pain management. Pain was cited as a curriculum area in need of improvement while major barriers were lack of faculty expertise and competing curriculum content. (AKM). |
