The message is clear in the video…PISA is Family!
It was a perfect spring day for the Pain Institute of Southern Arizona to host their CME Conference on Pain Management: New Indications and Improved Therapies. The Hacienda Del Sol provided us with a beautiful venue, we had a great attendance from our local Physicians and APP’s. This conference not only provided the opportunity to learn about new innovations available in pain management, but it was a great way to network and engage with other providers in the area.
Our expert panel of doctors discussed different Pain Management therapies and the continuing innovations available to treat chronic pain.
A special thank you goes out to our Keynote speaker Dr. Ahmed Zaafran. Dr. Zaafran’s presentation on the importance of mental health and how it is an integral part of pain management was inspiring.
We extend our gratitude to our wonderful CME conference sponsors, as we couldn’t host this event without them.
