Increase Engagement
Build connections among residents and create opportunities for greater participation in the pain medicine community.
Developing future leaders in pain medicine through connection, engagement, and opportunities to represent AAPM within residency programs nationwide.
We are accepting applications from residents at programs not currently represented in the 2026–2027 cohort through November 1, 2026.
This year's Resident Ambassadors will focus on three core areas.
Build connections among residents and create opportunities for greater participation in the pain medicine community.
Help raise awareness of AAPM education, events, resources, and opportunities available to residents and future pain physicians.
Develop emerging leaders by creating meaningful opportunities to represent their peers, collaborate, and contribute to AAPM.
Five Regional Ambassador Leads help connect residents across the country and support engagement within their regions.
AAPM Resident Ambassadors represent residency programs across the country, connecting their peers with opportunities to learn, engage, and explore the field of pain medicine.
