May 08, 2026, Noon - 1:00 p.m. Grand Rounds – Reclaiming Total Pain's Rehabilitative Soul: What Cicely Saunders would ask us to do! Chandler Hospital room HG611

Event Details

After this session, participants will be able to:

  • Describe total pain as a rehabilitative framework and explain how Sauder's clinical methods anticipate modern chronic pain science.
  • Apply the rehabilitative elements of total pain to the evaluation and treatment of complex chronic pain.
  • Distinguish the roles of biographical narrative, transdisciplinary care, and sympton management as a door way - not a destination - in chronic pain treatment.
  • Recognize the parallel between the abandonment of dying patients in the 1950s and the abandonment of patients with "incurable" chronic pain today, and articulate a rehabilitative response.
