The project results will be used in all participant universities in PCs, as well as the medical associations of the same countries. The accreditation program developed postgraduate education Pain medicine create conditions for the organization of sub/specialist studies at all participant universities PCs (and other universities in PCs). Development of the project module lectures courses will allow accreditation of undergraduate classes, which will be implemented in the form of election or a compulsory subject in the basic medical studies in participant universities PCs . The important impact is also introduction of new curricula to other universities of Serbia, Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina. In the development of these programs will participate academic staff of the universities involved in the project, from PCs and PgCs. This will continue to create programs that are in a line with programs in EU countries.
Organizing courses in health centers will develop awareness of the importance of pain medicine and raise the level of knowledge in primary health care, therefore in health care workers, who are often in contact with the target patients.
PAINWeb platform will provide a long-term connection between participating countries and promote new learning opportunities, and to facilitate the communication of health workers who deal with treatment of pain.
Brochures that will be printed for the courses will be the basis for learning at undergraduate level.
Textbook of Pain Medicine will systematize the learning material for post-graduate syllabus.
By creating unique programs of undergraduate and postgraduate teaching of pain medicine at the universities of PCs and the harmonization of these programs with the EU countries will create the basis for strengthening the capacity of health workers in PCs in the struggle with the problem of pain in practice.
Promotion of the project activities will raise awareness of the wider community about the importance of the fight against pain and the need to invest in such activities.
After HEPMP there are several possibilities for implementation in daily practice.
Thanks to HEPMP School of Medicine will perceive importance of pain medicine and develop long- term strategy in the field of education in this area. This means:
- Pain modules in the undergraduate studies
- Continuous medical education courses in PM
- Pain modules in the different postgraduate studies
- Possible Master studies
- Academic specialization
- PhD studies
- Physician subspecialty in PM
Using the PAINWB platform will provide advanced learning opportunities, as well as communication among health care professionals and academic staff in all PCs and beyond during the next years. Moreover this web platform will serve for practical excersize of undergraduate students. Trough regional academic network it would be enabled to update set of recommentadations for sistemic procedures and standards regarding pain medicine that the Ministry of Health will incorporate in national guidelines .In that way, whole WB region would have increase in quality in education and HCWs and subsequently increase in health care of populations of WB countries.
The HEPMP project will allowed WB countries to get closer to European standards in public health care service .
