The NDPS rules of 2015 insist on training in pain management as basic requirement for storing & dispensing “Essential Narcotic Drugs” (ENDs) by Recognised Medical Institutions (RMIs). The rules do not specify the nature of the training. It is expected that a certificate of this training by our WHO Collaborating Centre will be enough for RMI certificate.
Pallium India is delighted to offer a web-based short time (15 hours) course, in collaboration with National Cancer Grid (NCG) to Oncologists, on effective pain management.
This program will provide you with an opportunity to learn essential pain management strategies and will enhance your skills for dealing with difficult situations through effective communication.
