Mission statement of the NYSIPP: “To promote the development and practice of safe, high quality, cost effective interventional pain management techniques for the diagnosis and treatment of pain and related disorders and to insure patient access to these interventions.”

Statement of need: Pain management and Interventional pain management are quickly growing fields in medicine. Emerging science and treatment options for patient care are growing rapidly and it is important for clinicians specializing in this field of medicine to know, understand and evaluate available options to be able to continue to provide the best treatment options and quality of care for patients. Additionally, this field of medicine is subject to higher than normal scrutiny, liability and litigiousness stemming from alleged over treatment and under treatment of care. It is vitally important for clinicians to understand best practices and practice guidelines to insure that they are offering the best care, and remaining in compliance to lessen exposure and liability.

Target audience:  Pain Medicine Symposium, 2011: Evolving Advanced Pain Therapies is expected to bring clinicians, scientists and industry partners from the New York and New Jersey areas and across the United States. We anticipate in excess of 250 clinical providers specializing in pain management, interventional pain management and neurosurgery to attend including: physicians, mid-level practitioners, nurses and pharmacists.

Course objectives: As a result of attending this program, attendees should be able to:

-          Discuss new and established techniques in interventional pain management

-          Present the latest in evidence based medicine to support physicians in selecting the right patients for right therapies

-          Discuss emerging trends and share the newest available data
