Committees & Task Forces

AAPM members participating in committee activities

Get Involved with AAPM

AAPM relies on the expertise and engagement of members who volunteer their time to serve on committees and task forces. Members work alongside colleagues from across the multidisciplinary pain medicine community to support AAPM's priorities and help shape programs, resources, policy, education, and other initiatives.

The 2026 Call for Volunteers is now closed.
Watch for information about the next volunteer cycle and additional opportunities to get involved with AAPM throughout the year.
