Special Symposium: Advancing Practice Across the Military and VA Health Systems
Tampa
JW Marriott Tampa Water Street
Join us for a one-day program dedicated to advancing integrated, mission-aligned pain care for Servicemembers and Veterans. Bringing together clinical teams from across the Department of Defense (DOD) and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), this symposium explores what it takes to move from shared understanding to real-world implementation. Sessions span rehabilitation, behavioral health, interventional care, neuromodulation, and national program experience, all grounded in the latest research translated into practice. Whether you're focused on improving function, reducing suffering, or strengthening continuity of care, you'll leave with practical strategies you can apply across DOD and VA health systems.
