WHAT IS CO*RE?

Founded in 2010, CO*RE now includes ten member-led healthcare professional organizations. The CO*RE organizations collectively represent 600,000 clinicians who work in a wide range of clinical settings including primary care, hospitals, emergency departments, pain clinics, birthing units, and hospice and palliative care centers. CO*RE reaches a variety of healthcare professionals, including medical doctors, doctors of osteopathy, physician assistants, pain specialists, and nurse practitioners.

CO*RE’s comprehensive curriculum plays a pivotal role in empowering clinicians to confidently navigate the complexities of pain management, including patient assessment, creating treatment plans, and-if opioid analgesics are warranted-safe initiation, ongoing management, modification, discontinuation, and the vital act of counseling for patients and their caregivers. We provide the knowledge and tools to consider different approaches to pain management, and to discover that delicate balance between the risks and benefits, ensuring essential relief and safety to patients under your care.
