(302) Interdisciplinary Functional Restoration and Pain Treatment: Part I
This program is designed to present an in-depth review of interdisciplinary functional restoration and pain programs.

We will also discuss the management issues critical to maintaining successful outcomes and fiscal soundness in serving persons in pain with such programs.
