Details
  • Overview

    Pain management and Interventional pain management are quickly growing fields in medicine. Emerging science and treatment options for patient care are growing rapidly and it is important for clinicians specializing in this field of medicine to know, understand and evaluate available options to be able to continue to provide the best treatment options and quality of care for patients. It is vitally important for clinicians to understand best practices and practice guidelines to ensure that they are offering the best care, remaining in compliance to lessen exposure and liability while still ensuring access to care and the best treatment outcomes for patients.

    This certified CME activity will unite pain practitioners and advanced practice providers from the Pacific States (California, Hawaii, Arizona, Nevada, Oregon, Washington and Alaska). Our goal is to demonstrate best practices to improve the quality of care and treatment outcomes for chronic pain patients.
