It is clear that a one-size-fits-all approach to caring for patients with pain is not a prudent way to manage care. National policymakers are taking note: the Federation of State Medical Boards recently adopted revisions to its recommendations relating to opioids and pain care at its April 2024 annual meeting that focus on individualized, patient-centered care. The AMA strongly supports the update.

  • The new guidelines and how they were updated
  • Recommendations and expectations for medical boards
  • How medical boards are addressing access to treatment for patients with pain
