Nearly 100 AAHPM community leaders participated in Town Hall calls this week. They learned about Academy initiatives, discussed innovative SIG and Forum projects engaging community constituents, and participated in a Q&A session with President Rodney Tucker and CEO Wendy-Jo Toyama. Themes included AAHPM vision for the future, a renewed dedication to our DEI initiatives, and strategies for providing innovative education to members.
AAHPM CEO Wendy-Jo Toyama shares one of her core values: justice in this new video message. She speaks on her parents’ marriage, AAHPM’s DEI initiatives, and how we must provide quality care for all.
AAHPM submitted comments in response to the CDC’s request inviting stakeholders to provide their perspectives on the management of acute and chronic pain and the benefits and harms of opioid use. The feedback will be used in determining whether the CDC will update or expand its 2016 Guideline for Prescribing Opioids for Chronic Pain.
