Media Inquiries

ASRA Pain Medicine is committed to sharing accurate, clear, evidence-based information to the public as part of its mission to advancing the field and improving patient outcomes. We welcome serious inquiries from journalists and other members of the media. 

Press Attendance at Meetings

Reporters may attend ASRA Pain Medicine annual meetings for purposes of reporting on the event. Upon approval, these individuals will receive a complimentary registration and a meeting badge indicating their affiliation with the press.

Individuals are not permitted to attend ASRA Pain Medicine courses (e.g., cadaver courses) as members of the press.

Journalists wishing to receive press credentials must contact the ASRA Pain Medicine office via email and provide full contact information, including:

• Full name of the publication, official publisher, and business address
• Format (e.g., online, print), frequency, circulation, date of first publication, annual subscription rate, and intended audience of publication
• Journalist’s address, phone, and direct email.

ASRA Pain Medicine reserves the right to refuse press credentials for any reason. In these instances, individuals are not precluded from attending the meeting and paying the appropriate registration fees. ASRA Pain Medicine reserves the right to limit the number of participating journalists attending from any one media outlet.

Members of the press attending with official press credentials are only permitted to attend the Main Meeting sessions (as included in the normal registration fee). Admittance to any other events requires payment of fees. Members of the press are not admitted to workshops. Members of the press may not apply for and will not be granted continuing medical education credits for attending the meeting.

Individuals granted such privileges shall be properly registered at the event and issued the proper proof of privileges (press badge or other).

Members of the press are not permitted to reprint any written materials or presentations without express written consent by ASRA Pain Medicine. Filming, audiotaping, or other recording of sessions, presentations, or activities is not permitted without advanced approval by ASRA Pain Medicine and may be denied based on individual circumstances.
