Pain in Blood Disorders (Pilot Program)
ECHO Pain in Blood Disorders covers topics related to acute and chronic pain syndromes in sickle cell disease and hemophilia. The program will provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of the breadth of pain presentations in these blood disorders and an approach to management. Patients with pain in blood disorders require a multidisciplinary strategy to optimize care and outcomes. We welcome practitioners from all disciplines to join in this community of learning aimed at improving the lives of patients with blood disorders.
