Knowledge is an important pain management tool. To help you learn as much as you can about pain, the ACPA will soon offer a new segment on our web page, ACPA Forums.
Each Forum will deal with a pain-related topic shaped by your questions. Answers will be provided by health-care professionals in training at leading universities---future MDs, NPs, PAs, pharmacists, and more---and be reviewed by their professors before posting.
