Mission Statement

The San Diego Pain Summit is on a mission to change how pain is managed and treated in the healthcare industry by organizing conferences and workshops where clinicians can learn up to date pain education and research. The Summit also includes voices representing the patient’s lived experience, which is an integral part of creating person centered care.

Patient Centered Care

The San Diego Pain Summit (SDPS) is committed to helping clinicians learn to shift their focus towards a patient-centered approach to pain management.

Human beings are occupational centered beings – meaning routine daily activities give people a sense of purpose. When experiencing injury and/or pain, this sense of purpose is disrupted, leading to anxiety, depression, chronic pain, and general loss of quality of life.

SDPS conferences and workshops help clinicians from a variety of backgrounds to understand how pain research can be used to guide patient care.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “This conference showed me that personhood and relationship are key in healing professions, education, and in the experience of the patient with pain. The experts who presented clearly communicated the complexity of pain but also provide a more complete and integrated approach to help lessen the personal, social, and economic burdens that often come with it.” Marianne Kane, RN, personal trainer

The San Diego Pain Summit conferences and workshops adhere to the guidelines set by the International Association for the Study of Pain’s Curriculum Outline On Pain For Physical Therapy.
