2nd Annual Conference on
Post-Surgical Pain
In an era of rising surgical volumes and ongoing challenges with opioid dependence, improving post-surgical pain care is both urgent and essential. Yet this critical phase of recovery remains underrepresented at traditional anesthesiology, pain, and surgical conferences. Our annual meeting is dedicated entirely to closing this gap.
The program focuses on the full continuum of post-surgical pain care, from acute pain in the hospital, to transitional pain in the community, to chronic pain in outpatient practice. It brings together leaders from surgery, anesthesiology, pain medicine, emergency medicine, and rehabilitation to share practical strategies, emerging research, and clinical advances that improve patient outcomes.
I warmly invite you to join us in Tampa for a focused, collaborative, and forward-looking conference dedicated to advancing the standard of post-surgical pain management.
Warm regards,
Arun Kalava, MD, FASA, EDRA
Chairman and Founder, ASPSP
