Featured reviews

I consider the importance of this course for anyone who has sensitivity and humanism in the face of the millions of unstable and displaced patients who carry chronic physical and psychological pain every day. Furthermore, this course can enrich us with new knowledge about human PAIN, which is the very foundation of our vocation for physiotherapy.

This course is beneficial as it provides an in-depth look at pain, its causes, the challenges we face to treat it, what factors can exacerbate it for our patients in the displaced person community and what psychosocial consequences there can be. I found the information around the Pain and Disability Drivers Model beneficial, and the module builds on the information you have covered in previous modules in the course. It is a handy resource!

This course has made me relate well to my experience with displaced persons who used to come to the hospital where I worked. I was able to address their physical impairments, but I was wondering why their outcomes were not changing much. This course has made me understand that we must further explore their physical assessment.
