Join Amy Baxter, a clinical associate professor of emergency medicine. We’ll delve into the opioid crisis, the misconceptions surrounding pain management, and the barriers that hinder effective pain relief in health care. Amy will share her expertise and insights on these critical topics, shedding light on the complexities of pain, pharmaceutical bias, and coverage policies.

Amy Baxter is a clinical associate professor of emergency medicine at Augusta University, CEO, Pain Care Labs, and can be reached on Twitter @AmyBaxterMD.

She discusses the KevinMD article, “The preference for insurance coverage of opioids over non-pharmaceutical options explained.”
