The Hidden Influences on Pain Care: Cognitive Bias and Equitable Treatment Strategies

CE Hours 2

About this live event

This two-hour training explores how cognitive bias influences clinical decision-making in pain management and contributes to disparities in patient care. Participants will examine common biases affecting pain assessment and treatment, review real-world case examples, and learn practical strategies to promote equitable, evidence-based care. The session equips healthcare professionals with tools to strengthen clinical judgment, improve patient trust, and reduce variability in pain management practices.

Learning Objectives

  • Learners will be able to define cognitive bias and list at least four types of cognitive bias that impact pain assessment and treatment decisions in healthcare.
  • Learners will be able to analyze a clinical case scenario and identify at least two examples of cognitive bias influencing pain management decisions.
  • Learners will be able to state and explain at least three evidence-based strategies to reduce the impact of cognitive bias in pain assessment and treatment planning.
