Whether you're in a hospital or office-based practice, chronic pain patients are everywhere—and YOU are absorbing the burden of their care.

PAINWeekEnd: Pain Management for the Main Street Practitioner has been created to streamline the clutter of information on assessment, evolving guidelines and risk management. Join us for a day of clinical and practice management CE/CME designed expressly for frontline clinicians.

Where?

Baltimore Marriott Waterfront
700 Aliceanna Street, Baltimore, MD 21202

Who Should Attend?

Physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and pharmacists.

Why Attend?

Pain is the primary reason Americans seek health care, and our aging population will keep pain in the forefront of your patient presentations. And the rapidly evolving regulatory environment in medication risk management has implications for your patients and your practice. If you have Physician Assistants on your team, the State of Maryland requires at least 50 hours of Category 1 CME each biennial license cycle, with a minimum of 8 hours related to pharmacology topics.
