Pain is a barrier that is important for clinicians to understand and treat in order to promote their client's performance and participation in meaningful occupations. This course is helpful in teaching clinicians about our role and interventions we can use to achieve this.

It was well done as an intro course for the week as it covered the broad area of OT involvement in pain management and stuck to the framework of OT. I liked that the speaker didn't go down a rabbit hole of material that would be covered later in the week.
