Abstract
A great deal of effort is being expended at national, state and local levels to improve cancer pain management in the United States. The fact that cancer patients continue to experience "unrelieved pain" is of concern to professional caregivers and families, as well as to the patients themselves. This article describes the content and scope of an educational program for nurses who work in predominantly rural areas. Content of the program and the evaluation process are described in detail in order to provide other caregivers with a model that could be implemented in similar settings.
