EP3 Melbourne 2025
With David Butler , Lorimer Moseley AO , Tasha Stanton
ZINC, Federation Square Melbourne, VIC Australia
Course Host: Fran Ammirato
Description
Prerequisites
EP3 2025 is open to all professionals working with people experiencing acute and chronic pain, including physiotherapists, occupational therapists, doctors, psychologists, nurses, chiropractors, osteopaths, massage therapists and others. A strength of the Explain Pain course is that participants come from many professions, so please come with an open mind. Pre-reading Explain Pain Second Edition print / ePub or even Explain Pain Supercharged book would also be ideal.
Course Times
Registration Friday: 7.30-8.30am
Friday: 8.30 am – 5.00pm
Saturday: 8.30 am – 5.00pm
Sunday: 8.30 am – 5.00pm
Objectives
The course will be a blend of lectures, interaction and practical workshops. There will be ample time to mix with the presenters throughout the three days.
What is the difference between a regular Explain Pain course and an EP3?
The Explain Pain course and the EP3 seminar are very different educational opportunities. Explain Pain is our standard course covering the core pain biology, curriculum setting and story telling. EP3 is about what three of the most influential people in pain treatment are thinking and doing NOW – so every EP3 is unique.
I’ve been to an EP3 before – shall I come again?
YES! There will be lots of completely new original material, new science (and new jokes).
