OTHER EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES ASSOCIATED WITH THIS EVENT |
Description
We invite you to escape the cold winter weather during the week of March 6 – 10, 2010, and join us in the beautiful setting of the Loews Coronado Bay Hotel in Coronado, California, to share in a dynamic five-day symposium focused on the advances in pain medicine and regional anesthesia/analgesia.
Tremendous changes have affected the practice of pain management and regional anesthesia, particularly in relation to advances in pharmacologic and intervention aspects.
Also, the goal of this symposium is to promote a better understanding of the pathophysiology of acute and chronic pain and to enhance the knowledge regarding various chronic neuropathic pain conditions as well as to critically review the novel state-of-the-art interventional and noninterventional techniques in diagnosis and management of chronic pain, cancer pain, and headache.
We have assembled a nationally and internationally renowned faculty to address current topics in acute and chronic pain management and regional anesthesia.
- Each day will begin with the opportunity to interact with the faculty in informal discussions during the continental breakfast.
- On Saturday through Tuesday, we offer an optional afternoon cadaver workshop on various novel interventional pain management techniques.
- On Saturday, we will offer a live ultrasound-guided workshop covering upper and lower extremities, neck, and lumbar spine procedures.
- On Sunday through Tuesday, we offer optional late afternoon problem-based learning discussions.
We also invite you to the reception on Saturday evening, which promises to be a fantastic social gathering opportunity for attendees, their families, friends, and faculty.
