It can be challenging for the clinician to complete an efficient assessment and differential diagnosis, and challenging for the patient who has endured often debilitating pain. This course, the third in an eight-part series, will introduce multiple pelvic pain classification systems, highlight the benefits of using the biopsychosocial model for male pelvic pain management and provide an overview of the pelvic pain assessment and clinical red flags.

Aims
