Here is your chance to ask Dr. Francis Keefe ANYTHING you want!

Maybe you’d like to ask Frank about his latest research in pain psychology, including recent work evaluating the efficacy of behavioral treatments for pain (for example, training in pain coping skills, partner-assisted approaches to managing pain, mindfulness-based interventions, strategies for combining training in pain coping skills with weight management). You might be interested in how he and his team have tailored these treatments for people suffering from cancer-related pain, arthritis pain, other chronic pain conditions and for patients dealing with acute pain due to medical procedures (for example, breast biopsy).

You might also like to ask Frank about his work training non-psychologists (physical therapists, occupational therapists, nurses, social workers) to deliver training in pain coping skills. Perhaps you’re interested in Frank’s thoughts about the pain psychology field more broadly – where is it now, and where is it going?

Frank is the Editor-in-Chief of PAIN and you can ask him about the world of scientific publishing and its latest developments. How to develop a career in pain research and other tips for trainees can be on the agenda too. You could even ask Frank about playing the upright jazz bass and his favorite long-distance bicycle routes – anything and everything is fair game!

Join us on March 23 for what promises to be a stimulating and enlightening event – and a lot of fun, too!

  • Francis Keefe, PhD

    Francis J. Keefe, Editor-in-Chief of PAIN, is a Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Duke University Medical Center. He directs the Duke Pain Prevention and Treatment Research Program, an active clinical research program concerned with the behavioral assessment and treatment of patients having acute and persistent pain. Dr. Keefe has played a key role in the development of multidisciplinary pain programs at Duke. He also has developed and refined a number of novel, behavioral treatment protocols (e.g., pain coping skills training, partner-assisted approaches to coping skills training) for persistent pain (e.g., cancer pain, arthritis pain). Over the past 10 years, his work has focused specifically on strategies for increasing access to behavioral treatments through the use of smartphones, computer tablets, online internet programs, and other e-health delivery methods. He has keen interests in training health care professionals (e.g., physical therapists, social workers, nurses) in ways to integrate behavioral treatments into their clinical practice and mentoring investigators interested in developing novel behavioral interventions for pain.

Following his fellowship, Dr. Winger joined the Duke faculty as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. His research focuses on the development and testing of psychosocial interventions for patients facing life-limiting illnesses.
