What Our Members Say
“I joined and never looked back. The value you get from this membership is unbelievable.”
Dr. David Ross
MD, CCFP, Family Physician
“When I began my physiotherapy career, formal educational opportunities in pain management and treatment were limited. My journey with the Canadian Academy of Pain Management (CAPM) began in 2007, and I proudly became a credentialed member of both CAPM and the American Academy of Pain Management a few years later. Maintaining my credentialed status has enabled me to stay up to date with the latest advancements in pain assessment and treatment. Being part of a team of interdisciplinary healthcare providers has greatly enriched my professional development. It has deepened my knowledge and enhanced my confidence when working with complex patients and collaborating with colleagues across various disciplines.”
