Themed “Connecting Education to Application,” attendees will not only learn about new research, techniques, and advancements in pain management (education) but also understand how to effectively apply this knowledge in real-world settings (application).
“PAINWeek is a very unique conference. Many of the speakers are not physicians; we hear from pharmacists, psychologists, and psychiatrists,” says Paul G. Mathew, MD, DNBPAS, FAAN, FAHS, PAINWeek 2024 Faculty. “Many of the clinicians treat the same conditions as I do but in very different ways.
