Member Sneak Peek: Introducing PainConnect – Our Newly Branded Annual Meeting
Dear AAPM Member,
I am thrilled to give you a sneak peek at our newly branded annual meeting, PainConnect, presented by the American Academy of Pain Medicine. This event is designed to bring together a diverse community of individuals dedicated to caring for those in pain, including pain medicine specialists, physiatrists, primary care providers, emergency medicine professionals, behavioral medicine professionals, and advanced practice providers. Our goal is to foster a dynamic, innovative, and collaborative environment that emphasizes holistic and cutting-edge approaches to education and pain care.
PainConnect aims to gather over 600 attendees, including specialists with primary training in Anesthesiology, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Neurology, Neurosurgery, Psychiatry, Family Practice, Emergency Medicine, Internal Medicine, and Behavioral Medicine. We will also welcome Physician Assistants, Nurse Practitioners, Pharmacists, Psychologists, Physical Therapists, Behavioral Health Specialists, and Payers.
In 2024, the Academy brought together leaders from our Supporter, Sponsor, Sponsor-Plus partners, and patient advocacy leaders to discuss advocating for access to pain therapy and educating primary care physicians and the public about pain medicine. The American Academy of Pain Medicine will leverage its inclusive, multidisciplinary approach, convening our Corporate Partners during a facilitated roundtable discussion to co-create access advocacy solutions for patients and providers.
Stay tuned for more updates as we prepare to make PainConnect an unforgettable experience. Together, we will advance innovative education, advocacy, and collaborative efforts to benefit patients in pain. If you have questions, do not hesitate to reach out to me, Charles.argoff@gmail.com, or our Executive Director, Sharon Kneebone. skneebone@painmed.org.
