That is why the 36th Annual Meeting & Preconference Courses of the American Academy of Pain Medicine will offer an opportunity for members of the pain care team to join together in National Harbor, MD, to discuss, review, and critique the latest innovations and technologies available to treat pain.

Objectives and Desired Outcomes:
After attending the meeting, participants should be better able to
• describe recent advancements in research, clinical best practices, patient management, practice management, and the diagnosis and treatment of patients in pain
• assess, treat, and improve outcomes for patients suffering from multiple types of pain through the use of evidencebased, integrative/multidisciplinary pain management strategies and patient-centered treatment plans
• improve patient safety and decrease the rate of opioid- and pain analgesic–related adverse events.
