Affecting Healthcare on behalf of our pain patients.
AAPM supports pain patients and pain medicine clinicians by advocating for a balanced approach to safe and effective treatment of pain. The Academy recognizes the need for policies that support effective control of drug abuse without harming the appropriate treatment of pain and works with members and other pain societies to establish programs and to educate public along those lines.
This Advocacy Center offers information on AAPM advocacy activities and resources to assist pain medicine physicians in working with legislators. Use the links for more information.
