Key Principles

PURPOSES:

The Portland Pain Study Group collaborates in sharing and learning about evidence-based pain care, pain science, and topics related to persistent pain. All interventions are open for discussion and will be considered in light of known pain science. This group will also serve as a forum for case consultation, interdisciplinary consultation, networking, and informational exchange.

FOR WHOM:

This is a multidisciplinary group open to all healthcare professionals and students. If you are not a health professional or student but would like to join an event as a special invited guest, please contact us so we can discuss the possibility. Please note however that this is not a forum for vendors, marketing, or direct patient care, whether attending as a member or guest.

GROUP VALUES:

We collaborate in kindness, openness, authenticity, and compassion. We aim to promote diverse participation and seek knowledgeable contributions from those people who are harmed by inequitable social determinants of health and who may otherwise be less heard or disenfranchised.

HOW TO JOIN:

Healthcare professionals and students can join our online and in-person events without formal invitation. If you are interested in joining us online, please contact us . Upcoming events are listed in our calendar, along with any supplemental materials that would be beneficial to review before the events.
