UCSF CCMBM and Department of Orthopaedic Surgery Scientific Retreat

A Picture of Pain: Advances in Management and Treatment

This scientific event, entitled “A Picture of Pain: Advances in Management and Treatment”, brings together researchers, clinicians, and patients to explore the mechanistic foundations of pain science and how they intersect with musculoskeletal biology. Preeminent speakers from the Bay Area and throughout the country will join together to share cutting edge pain research and management frameworks across the biological, rehabilitative, imaging, and epidemiologic sciences. Distinguished guests include Dr. Kathleen Sluka of the University of Iowa; NCCIH Director Dr. Helene Langevin; members of the UCSF Pain and Addiction Research Center; and members of the Integrated Pain Team of the SF VA Health Care System.

Please join us for this special two-day retreat sponsored by the NIH P30 Core Center for Musculoskeletal Biology and Medicine (CCMBM), REACH, and the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery. We will convene in-person for this year's event at UCSF's Mission Bay Campus, Genentech Hall, 600 16th St, San Francisco, CA 94158. Remote participation is available.
