History

Launched in February 2024, The Pain Medicine Academy of Advanced Practice Providers (PMAAPP) is an independent National association of advanced practice healthcare providers whose mission is to care for people who suffer from acute and chronic pain by advancing research and treatment and to increase the knowledge and skill of the PA, NP, and nurse pain professional community.  We are pleased to announce that the Society will host its Inaugural Annual Meeting and Scientific Sessions at the Renaissance  Orlando at Sea World, Orlando, Florida with almost three full days of programming, networking,  and exhibition on November 6-8, 2025.
