Patient Portal

Welcome to the Patient Portal, the public information center of the American Academy of Pain Medicine. AAPM members represent a variety of medical specialties that combine their focus on the diagnosis, treatment and management of pain.

Physician members of the AAPM are specialists from anesthesiology, internal medicine, neurology, neurosurgery, orthopedic surgery, psychiatry, and psychiatry. In addition, our allied members are nurse practitioners, pharmacists, physician assistants, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and nurses, who are actively involved on pain treatment teams that are headed by pain medicine physicians.

As the leading medical association that represents physicians practicing comprehensive pain medicine, the mission of the AAPM is to promote quality care of patients with pain through research, education and advocacy.

The goal of this public portal is to help you find:

  • General information about pain
  • A dedicated pain specialist in your area from AAPM's active membership
  • Links to the National Pain Foundation and the American Pain Foundation
  • AAPM's Press Room

While our primary focus is to serve the dedicated pain physicians and their teams that diagnose and treat pain patients, we will do all that we can to help direct you to the help or information source that you need, simply contact us at info@painmed.org.
