Who Should Attend?

Clinicians from all specialties and general medical practices treating patients in pain are invited to join leading experts in pain medicine at PainConnect 2027. 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. 

Objectives and Desired Outcomes

After attending the meeting, participants should be better able to

• Evaluate current evidence, emerging research, and advances in the assessment, diagnosis, and management of acute and chronic pain across diverse patient populations.
• Apply evidence-based multi-modal, and patient-centered approaches to pain management that integrate pharmacologic, interventional, behavioral, rehabilitative, and complementary strategies while promoting patient safety, effective communication, and risk mitigation.
• Examine clinical interdisciplinary, and systems-based strategies that support effective pain care, including care coordination, documentation, practice management, value-based care, and the evaluation and adoption of emerging technologies.
