Jonathan Jones, MD, SHS rheumatology

“In my rheumatology practice, most of my patients have chronic pain, so I thought I knew quite a bit about this topic. However, after attending The 2021 Oregon Pain Summit, I realized that I was operating under an outdated model of pain. As I have learned about the latest science of the neurobiology of pain, I have felt empowered with many new and better tools for treating patients with chronic pain. I highly recommend that all clinicians attend this conference! It will blow your mind!”

Jennifer Smits, MD, MPH. IM, Hospitalist GSRMC

"I highly recommend the Oregon Pain Summit to any provider who works with patients with persistent pain, be they physicians or other health care professionals. This summit really rocked my world in terms of beginning to learn a whole new (more accurate and evidence based) model of the physiology of persistent pain and how it expresses itself in our patients, and importantly, how to treat it more effectively."

Brent Godek, MD, SHS Family Medicine

“I have been practicing Family Medicine for 21 years and have always struggled to understand my patients who were suffering with pain. As I started to learn more about the neurobiology of pain,  I realized that my misunderstanding of pain contributed to my struggles and impacted my patient care.  Since attending the Oregon Pain Summit for the past several years, I now connect with patients on an entirely different level.  It has transformed me, my practice, and enjoyment of medicine.”
