In 2016, an estimated 20.4% of U.S. adults had chronic pain and 8.0% of U.S. adults had high-impact chronic pain (according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), making it one of the most important public health problems of our time both in terms of the number of patients affected and the impact on healthcare costs. Pain medicine specialists know that employing a comprehensive, multidisciplinary, patient-centered approach to pain management means staying abreast of the latest and most up to date complementary and integrative pain management therapies, interventional therapies, neuromodulation, rehabilitative therapies, medical therapies, and the latest technical innovations, especially while we as a specialty and a nation continue to grapple with the opioid crisis. The AAPM 36th Annual Meeting offers an opportunity for members of the pain care team to discuss, review, and critique the latest innovations and technologies available to pain specialists.

Meeting sessions focus on the theme, Innovation & Technology in Pain Medicine and address topics such as:

• Procedural and surgical pain management interventions, applying image-guided, minimally invasive procedures to diagnose and treat pain conditions
• Complementary and integrative mechanisms for treating pain
• Non-pharmacological pain management treatments, including physical and behavioral therapies
• Interactive patient care technologies to better manage pain expectations and perceptions, including a focus on caring for special populations, such as cancer patients, adolescents, and veterans
• Bringing research into practice and the latest basic and translational science in the field of pain
• Practice management tips and tools regarding regulatory, fiscal, and legal/ethical issues.

In addition to focusing on how emerging science and research will improve future clinical pain practice, the 2020 AAPM Annual Meeting recorded content offers an opportunity to reflect on how far the field of pain medicine has come.

Purchasers of the 2020 Annual Meeting On Demand are sure to receive premium educational content designed to improve their practice and ability to coordinate the multidisciplinary pain management team.

Faculty/Planner Disclosures & Policy
AAPM plans and implements educational activities in accordance with ACCME which calls on accredited providers to offer educational activities that address physicians’ real-world practice needs, whether their scope of practice is in clinical care, research, health care administration, or other areas of medicine. AAPM's educational programs are designed to change either physicians’ competence, by teaching them strategies for translating new knowledge into action, or physicians’ performance (what they actually do in practice), or patient outcomes. AAPM continually evaluates its programs’ effectiveness in achieving these goals.

All program faculty and planners are required to disclose all financial relationships they may have or have had within the last 12 months with commercial interests whose products or services are related to the subject matter of the presentation. Any real or apparent conflicts of interest are resolved prior to the presentation. All confirmed faculty disclosure is made available to participants prior to the activity. Faculty are also expected to disclose this information to the audience both verbally and in print (slide presentation) at the beginning of a presentation. Faculty members must also inform learners if any unlabeled uses of products regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration will be discussed.
