Special Symposium: Advancing Practice Across the Military and VA Health Systems
Tampa
JW Marriott Tampa Water Street
ASRA Pain Medicine is proud to again offer its popular Military Symposium, a one-day program addressing the care of individuals in the military and Veterans Administration (VA) health systems.
This event was offered in 2025 with a prestigious list of speakers from the U.S. Army, Navy, and Air Force pain management consultants as well as the surgeons general, the Department of Veterans Affairs’ Anesthesia and Pain Management specialty leaders, and speakers from Ukraine.
This year, the program will again address key topics affecting this patient population such as chronic pain, PTSD, opioid use, remote access to care, postamputation pain, and more.
