“PAINWeek® has become the premier conference for Pain Education.”

Will Rowe,
Chief Executive Officer,
American Pain Foundation

PAINWeek is the national pain conference for frontline clinicians.

The collective goal and vision of PAINWeek is to disseminate knowledge and tools to frontline clinicians who are faced with treating the majority of patients in pain. PAINWeek is the only national pain conference that has been developed to meet the educational needs of physicians, nursing professionals, physician assistants, dentists, pharmacists, psychologists, and podiatrists.

PAINWeek offers a diverse curriculum and multidisciplinary faculty who will present courses in the following areas: addiction, complementary & alternative medicine, geriatrics, health coaching, hypnosis, medical/legal, narcoterrorism, neurology, pain & chemical dependency, palliative care, pediatrics, pharmacology, physical medicine & rehabilitation, primary care, regional pain syndromes, and rheumatology.

100+ hours of continuing medical education will be presented by experts from 12 medical and patient advocacy organizations. There is only one national pain conference for frontline clinicians—and it is PAINWeek!
