The must-attend multi-disciplinary pain medicine meeting of the year!

The theme of this year’s meeting is Today and Tomorrow in Pain Medicine: Innovations and Practical Applications.

Who Should Attend?
Clinicians from all specialties and general medical practice treating patients in pain are invited to join leading experts in pain medicine at AAPM 2022. The program has been designed by a multidisciplinary, multimodal committee of experts at the forefront of Pain Medicine practice for a primary audience of physicians whose scope of practice is targeted at the multidisciplinary practice of pain medicine and a secondary audience of non-physician healthcare clinicians including nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, physical therapists, psychologists, and pharmacists who are part of the multidisciplinary pain management team.

Description:
As the leading advocate of multidisciplinary pain care, the meeting sessions and preconferences span the full spectrum of interventional, behavioral, and pharmacological treatment of acute and chronic pain.

The meeting will also feature a first-of-its-kind event for any pain specialty meeting titled the AAPM Innovation Challenge where cutting-edge start-up companies working in the pain space will compete for cash prizes and awards.
