Chronic pain is widely recognized as a bio-psycho-social phenomenon, yet family physicians often rely solely on medication management strategies. Understanding the scientific role of biological, psychological and social factors in mediating chronic pain, as well as the resources available beyond medication management, can leave providers feeling more empowered in caring for patients with these issues.

In this workshop, facilitators will share insights from the 2023 updated clinical practice guideline for management of osteoporosis and fracture prevention in Canada, as well as actionable tools for screening, diagnosing and optimizing care.

The CFPC Certification Exam Orientation workshop provides an introduction to the CFPC certification exam components. Participants have the opportunity to practice a mini Short Answer Management Problems (SAMPS) exam and participate in four practice Simulated Office Orals (SOOs).
