“We have 116,000,000 Americans suffering from chronic pain. We have only several thousand pain specialists. There is simply not enough to go around. Primary care physicians are the ones who are seeing these patients first. PAINWeek does a great job in educating primary care specialists about contemporary topics in pain medicine and pain management. I applaud their efforts.”

Sean Mackey, MD, PhD, CPE
Chief, Division of Pain Management
Stanford University School of Medicine, CA

“We’re an aging population. America is graying. The problems of patients [in] pain should be something that all physicians can treat. The [variety of] education that is available at PAINWeek is certainly a positive, and over the years that I’ve been here, I’ve seen the attendance grow, the quality of the presentations grow, and this knowledge is certainly something that all of us need.”
