Education on aspects of religion/spirituality is a required component of medical education. Osteopathic medical schools place an emphasis on the body, soul, and mind; however, it appears that the number of schools with an established curriculum of religion/spirituality is limited. A limited number of osteopathic medical schools providing formal curriculum on religion/spirituality points to a potential gap in education.

This activity reviews pharmacological treatment options, both a newly approved agent that is the first ever to be indicated specifically for the treatment of agitation associated with dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease and also an array of agents in development.

Pain is invisible, and diagnosis depends on patients' reports. These factors contribute to the treatment of pain to be devalued and stigmatized. When issues of culture, race, and ethnicity come into play with pain experiences, it becomes even more complex. Assessing the interaction between how patients construct the meaning and subjective experiences of pain is necessary, rather than simply dealing with only the biomedical causes. Consequently, pain may be universal, but culture influences the creation of meanings, patient experiences, verbal expressions, and coping with pain.
