IPM ECHO

Integrated Pain Management ECHO

The IPM ECHO brings together peers to discuss the management of chronic pain using evidence-based practices that may decrease the use of prescription opioids. It includes an interprofessional cohort of healthcare providers including physicians, pharmacists, advanced practice nurses, physical therapists, and social workers who will share cases, learn best practices, and consult with peers and expert faculty.

IPM ECHO sessions are hosted on the 1st Friday & 3rd Tuesday of each month from 8:00-9:15 a.m. ET via Zoom.

For any questions please reach out to Program Coordinator, Norelimane Bouzar: nbouzar@iu.edu
