Abstract
Chronic non-malignant pain (CNMP) has historically been treated with ineffective interventions, including opioids. Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine provides a pain psychology-developed multicomponent training program (i.e., didactic lecture, real and standardized patient encounters, feedback, and debriefing) to teach medical students a biopsychosocial approach to assessing and treating CNMP.
