Chronic Pain in the ICU with Dr. Saifee Rashiq
As health care providers, we are often called on to manage patients with chronic pain. In the acute setting, how do we manage them well? Join us on this podcast with Dr Saifee Rashiq, as we unravel chronic pain secrets well beyond opioids and other medications.
Dr. Saifee Rashiq is an Anesthesiologist and Pain Medicine Specialist at the University of Alberta in Edmonton and a Professor in its Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry. He studied medicine at University of Nottingham, anesthesia training at the University of Alberta, fellowship in Pain Medicine in Seattle, and a Master’s Degree in Clinical Epidemiology from the Harvard School of Public Health.
His clinical practice combines anesthesia and treating chronic pain patients in a Multidisciplinary Pain Clinic, where his clinical interest is in medically and psychosocially complex patients and non-organic pain syndromes.
He is a loving husband and father of 3 and cycles to work when the weather is fine.
