In 2009, the Mayday Fund created the Mayday Fund Special Committee on Pain and the Practice of Medicine. This 22-person Committee released A Call to Revolutionize Chronic Pain Care in America: An Opportunity in Health Care Reform, a report with 12 recommendations to improve the treatment of pain in the United States.

The Mayday Pain & Society Fellowship is happy to release the Pain Management Experts Gude. This guide serves as a tool to connect you with leading experts in the field of acute and chronic pain and pain managment. Our experts -- both former Fellows and advisory committee members -- are from the United States and Canada and are listed by subject area, disease, and condition.
