Chris Boyer

Professor & Head | Agricultural and Resource Economics
Overview

My teaching and research programs focuses on farm business management decisions that help producers maximize profits and/or manage risk. The goal of these programs is to enhance the long-term economic sustainability of farm businesses in Tennessee and across the United States. I work with multidisciplinary teams of scientists and Extensions Specialists to identify relevant and important real-world questions and to develop practical solutions. This research enhances my teaching program of farm financial management, investment analysis of technology adoption, data analysis, and land valuation. I have co-developed an AREC study aboard course to Argentina focused on the their global agricultural supply chain.

Nociceptive pain, procedural pain, postoperative pain, maladaptive pain, chronic pain, cancer pain, and related syndromes will be addressed. Case scenarios and practical examples will serve to reinforce the principles of pain management, including preemptive analgesia, balanced analgesia, and recognition of varying patient needs. Includes discussion of typical and atypical uses of the principle classes of analgesics, including NSAIDs, opioids, and local anesthetics, as well as adjunctive medications and non-drug methods for pain relief.
