Alumni

We at UAMS Pain are a family. All of our Alums are invited to our monthly community journal clubs which are led by our current Pain Fellows and Residents. We also hold yearly “Happy Hours” at multiple conferences including NANS, ASRA, and ASPN. If you would like to become a member of the UAMS family, please reach out to us and we would love to see you at one of these events.
