“Pharmacists who want to be cutting-edge in providing outstanding pharmaceutical care and pain management should attend and participate in PAINWeek 2007–a bonanza training opportunity!"

"The question is not, 'Should you participate in PAINWeek 2007?' Rather, "How can you afford not to?'"

Mary Lynn McPherson, PharmD, BPS, CDE
Professor, University of Maryland School of Pharmacy

“Come to PAINWeek 2007 and learn about the current consensus on pain management and how to be diligent in your prescribing, and discover other modalities that work to treat pain safely and effectively."

"Put PAINWeek on your calendar—it will be worth the trip.”

Chris J. Kottenstette, PA-C President & Founder, PAs in Pain Medicine, a Special Interest Group of the American Academy of Physician Assistants

“The State of the Union on pain management in the United States is that 50 million Americans are still under-treated or not treated for valid pain conditions. Patients who have moderate to severe pain cannot find doctors who are willing, able, and educated enough to treat them. If you can reduce a patient’s pain by 20–30 percent—you remarkably improve their quality of life.”

Howard Heit, MD, FACP, FASAM
Assistant Clinical Professor

“Pain can be one of the most difficult medical symptoms to treat, and when it becomes chronic, treatment can be complicated and complex. Despite advances in the field of pain management, many frontline practitioners can enhance their practice with new information to more effectively manage the pain experienced by their patients.”

Bill H. McCarberg, MD, President, Western Pain Society

“There is no doubt that the fear of regulatory actions against physicians who appropriately use opioid analgesics exists and interferes with treatment decisions, impeding adequate pain control for their patients.”

B. Eliot Cole, MD, MPA, Executive Director, American Society of Pain Educators
