An enjoyable, unbiased, and practice-focused beneficial educational activity. A thorough approach to pain management initiatives. I would recommend a more in-depth discussion of the pharmacological use of non-opioid pain medications especially differing potential effects on differing populations, and their comparative risks versus benefits. However, I think the current level of discussion is likely sufficient for most practitioners. Well done.

Overall I feel it was fairly presented. It can be difficult to replicate the "real world" in an algorithm-based learning such as presented here, but the means of allowing for multiple answers was good. It would be instructional to be able to see at a glance all the answers in the multiple-answer questions, in order to learn from the answers deemed incorrect as well as those deemed correct.
