SHARP Six Part Mini-Lecture Series-FREE No CME

This comprehensive six-part lecture series provides a detailed overview of perioperative pain management, encompassing all stages of the surgical journey—from preoperative assessment and planning to long-term post-operative care.  The series will cover the opioid crisis and responsible opioid prescribing, then delve into the development and implementation of effective multimodal analgesia plans, integrating both pharmacological and regional anesthesia techniques.  Lectures will also address preoperative patient and family education, the management of special patient populations, and strategies to prevent and treat persistent postsurgical pain. Through a combination of didactic instruction and practical application, the series equips clinicians with the knowledge and skills necessary to optimize patient care and improve outcomes.

Jennifer Hah, MD, MS

As an anesthesiologist, pain medicine specialist, and clinical epidemiologist, my research interests span development of novel psychotherapeutic interventions at the intersection of pain, prescription opioid addiction, and psychology. As an NIH-funded researcher I am working to develop novel interventions (behavioral, medical technology, medical device) to prevent continued pain and opioid use after surgery. My clinical interests include treatment of chronic pelvic pain conditions including painful bladder syndrome/interstitial cystitis, endometriosis, pelvic floor myofascial pain, pudendal neuralgia, peripheral nerve entrapments, pelvic adhesions, vulvodynia, and chronic constipation.
