Program delivery

Units of study (core and electives) are taught in distance mode, and are completed entirely online. An optional 2-week face to face program which provides an overview of the course content is available at the beginning of each year. Enrolled students can access this course at a reduced cost.

Study guides with lecture notes are available, either to be read on screen or printed by the students for private use. Quizzes, online discussion groups and selected readings from relevant journals and textbooks are also provided. A CD-ROM of the course readings in mailed to each student at the beginning of the year. 

Units are facilitated by a team of local and international academic clinicians and researchers including neuroscientists, anaesthetists, pharmacologists, oral surgeons, clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, nurses, physiotherapists and research personnel, all widely experienced in pain management.
