JASONE.POPE,MDPRESIDENTCALIFORNIASOCIETYOFINTERVENTIONALPAINPHYSICIANS

Friends and Colleagues,

This past year in California has been a trying one, with wild fires and mudslides challenging the resolve and spirit of our communities. Impressively, we have persevered in the face of these natural disasters. I have also witnessed this resolve in our healthcare communities and in our CASIPP membership, fighting to improve patient care and making evidence based therapies accessible to not only the residents of California, but nationally. This grit and determination is needed to deliver pain care in a patient centered way and 2018 looks to be an important one.

It is with this excitement that I invite you to meet our CASIPP family and to our educational offerings, specifically to the 9th annual meeting. At the Ritz-Carlton Bacara Resort in Santa Barbara, this venue serves our society well with impressive meeting room space and the ability to accommodate our first annual pre-meeting hands-on cadaver lab. Our plenary session will provide an essential update on our pain space, including innovations in spinal cord stimulation, peripheral stimulation, spinal stenosis treatments, intrathecal therapy, and regenerative medicine. We are excited to focus on navigating practice regulations and reporting with an up to date discussion surrounding pain space advocacy and policy. I am also very proud to announce the receipt of 16 abstracts and posters, expanding the science and reach of CASIPP.

Our membership offers enduring educational and advocacy materials, a job board, practice guidance, and a network of committed individuals to improve pain management strategies in California. Our newly formed committees are doing tremendous things: The Membership Committee, the Advocacy and Policy Committee, the Annual Planning Committee, and the Education Committee.

On behalf of CASIPP and our board, I welcome you to participate, become a member, and join our active society to protect our specialty and engage in making California not only a wonderful place to live, but also a wonderful place to innovatively practice.

CASIPP - OUR MISSIONTo promote the development and practice of safe, high-quality, cost-effective interventional pain medicine techniques for the diagnosis and treatment of pain and related disorders, and to ensure patient access to these interventions.

Friends and Colleagues,

We would like to welcome you to the 2018 California Society of Interventional Pain Physicians (CASIPP) Annual Meeting here at the lovely Bacara Resort in Santa Barbara, California.

The mission of the CASIPP Annual Meeting Committee is to maintain and encourage the highest level of care with the therapeutic modalities available to us. It is our pleasure to work with so many integral people to bring you what we feel is the best annual meeting yet. We hope you find the variety and depth of educational offerings beneficial to your practice and improve your awareness in the opportunities we have as healthcare providers.

From hands on practical cadaver labs, to scientific abstracts, to informative lectures, and panel discussions, we have been fortunate to involve leading faculty from throughout the country. By promoting innovation with clinical research and technological advancement will help ensure a strong future in our field.

It is our goal that the knowledge gained through interactive and collaborative dialogue carries far beyond this meeting and continues to improve the lives of those who suffer.

Warmest Regards
