Next Conference: 2012 - 25th Annual Pain & Suffering Symposium Friday & Saturday, March 2-3, 2012 Hyatt Regency Vancouver, Vancouver, BC Registration Fee: $450 per person Optional Saturday Afternoon Workshop Fee: $225 per person Online registration available soon This conference equips the clinician to work with the most difficult chronic pain patients, patients with complex chronic pain. These patients' pain frequently erodes non-medical domains of function, such as social, work and family relationships. This one and a half-day course builds the knowledge base and skills necessary to work productively with these patients. There is a focus on recognition of substance misues and addiction, because prescribed medications sometimes leads to decreasing function in these patients. Because this work can be challenging, attention is also directed to maintaining clinician well-being and emotional balance. Optional half-day workshops are offered in cognitive behavioral thereapy and advanced interviewing skills. Most attendees are from the American and Canadian Pacific Northwest.
