Overview

Curriculum information

The curriculum of the Pain Medicine MPM program at University of Southern California is designed with a series of didactic courses in which students will gain knowledge about the diagnosis, pathobiology and management of pain conditions. The goal of this postdoctoral three-year master program is to give practicing health care providers advanced clinical, didactic, and evidence-based education in the field of Pain Medicine. The first year provides a foundation that years two and three build upon, giving the non-physicians the necessary background for the following two years. Nevertheless, physicians will also found the first year to be important to be a meaningful educational experience.
The students participate in weekly live online sessions with faculty and other program students, ensuring a collaborative and social learning experience. There are 2-3 courses per trimester, with 2-4 streaming video lectures for viewing each week. After each video lecture students complete an associated online quiz (comprising multiple choice, short answer or fill-in questions).
