The Online Paediatric Pain Curriculum (OPPC) is a free, mobile friendly, broad education platform created by over 40 authors based on the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) core curriculum to learn about pain with clinical, basic science and ethical themes. It consists of pain-focused modules that take 20–25 minutes each and offers a certificate of completion. These modules are available in both English and French.
In this module, users will learn how to promote effective and safe pain management using opioid analgesics, when clinically indicated for pediatric patients; better understand and minimize potential harms associated with opioids for chronic pain management and deliver essential components of education to children, youth, and caregivers (e.g. family) when prescribing opioids.
