June 1, 2018: MAVEN Project Educational Session, Rheumatology: Diagnosis and Management of Back Pain
The MAVEN Project is very excited to announce our upcoming Educational Sessions! As always, these sessions are presented via Zoom videoconferencing, and consist of 20-30 minutes of a presentation and 15 – 20 minutes of Q&A. Our volunteers are eager to discuss your patients, so please don’t hesitate to come with questions or cases you’d like to discuss.
This talk will educate providers to be able to distinguish between inflammatory and mechanical back pain, choose imaging and laboratory assessments, and organize an initial therapy regimen.
