Abstract:
The year 2022 marked the 30th anniversary of the first Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) accreditation of pain medicine training programs. Before this, the education of pain medicine practitioners was through primarily an apprenticeship model. Since accreditation, pain medicine education has grown under the national leadership of pain medicine physicians and educational experts from the ACGME, exemplified by the release of Pain Milestones 2.0 in 2022. The rapid growth of knowledge in pain medicine, along with its multidisciplinary nature, poses challenges of fragmentation, standardization of curriculum, and adaptation to societal needs. However, these same challenges present opportunities for pain medicine educators to shape the future of the specialty.
