The Pediatric Pain Point AKA “Kids Hurt More Than They Have to and That Is Dumb” (w/Dr. Jody Thomas, PhD - Meg Foundation)

When Dr. Jody Thomas, PhD released her foundation's first blog post, she knew she had to make one thing clear, "Kids Hurt More Than They Have to and That Is Dumb.”

Here at CODE C.L.I.O. we tend to agree. Pediatric pain management is not a luxury, it's not a "nice to have," and it’s certainly not thinking your CCLS is simply the equivalent of an iPad stand.

Join us for Episode 6 as CEO of the Meg Foundation for Pain, Dr. Jody Thomas, discuses pediatric pain management support, its crucial intersection with the role of a Certified Child Life Specialist, and how having a good friend lovingly challenge you to make your dreams a reality can be a powerful recipe for making the world a lot less painful.

Host: Annie J, MS, CCLS, CAHP

Guest: Dr. Jody Thomas, PhD
