MONTCLAIR, N.J. (PRWEB)

Advanced Practice Providers are making a difference in pain management. Recent articles have asked, “can advanced practice providers be the answer to the nursing crisis?” [1] and noted that NPs and PAs are/will be 67.3% of the practitioners added to the workforce between 2016 and 2030, outpacing physicians. [2]

Presenter Theresa (Tracey) Mallick-Searle, MS, PMGT-BC, ANP-BC, of the Stanford Outpatient Medical Center, Division Pain Medicine, in Redwood City, California, commented, “as APP attendance at PAINWeek continues to grow, so does the quality of its APP track offerings. PAINWeek is committed to providing advanced pain education to APPs at all stages of their careers, and 2022 promises to be the best conference yet. My session, Green Acres: Pregnancy & Pain in Rural Communities, will highlight the importance of adequate pain management during pregnancy.”

Jeremy Adler, DMSc, PA-C, will discuss his trials, tribulations, and successes in the PA Perspective on Owning Your Own Practice. He commented, “managing the complexity of patients with chronic pain generally requires a skilled and dedicated team. We have found that our team has thrived through joint ownership of the practice between PAs and physicians. This session will introduce some of the ways PAs can be either as owners, shareholders, or entrepreneurial in meeting the needs of patients.” Dr. Adler is Senior Pain Management PA and Chief Operating Officer at Pacific Pain Medicine Consultants in California.

Lo and Behold: The Clinical Nurse Anesthetist Experience in Pain Management will be presented by Jackie Rowles, DNP, CRNA, ANP-BC, NSPM-C. Ms. Rowles stated, “PAINWeek is the largest gathering of pain clinicians from across the nation and provides an avenue for all disciplines to come together to network and learn from one another. My lecture details the pathway, subspecialty education, and typical clinical practice day of a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist Pain Practitioner.” Ms. Rowles is an associate professor of professional practice and director of the advanced pain management fellowship at Texas Christian University.

Other courses in the APP Track include:

• Neuromodulation for Advanced Practice Providers
• Bridging the Gap: The Transitional Pain Service and Role of the NP
