Learning the Specialty

Interventional pain management is a broad specialty. Depending on your previous experience, you’ll continue building your knowledge of spine and musculoskeletal conditions, diagnostic imaging, medication management, interventional procedures, conservative treatment options, pump management, and pre- and post-procedure care.

You don’t need to come in knowing everything about pain management. You do need to be clinically thoughtful, dependable, willing to ask questions, and open to learning.

If you’re an experienced NP or PA-C looking for an opportunity to grow in interventional pain management and become part of an established clinical team, we’d like to meet you.
