Welcome to the Pain Society of the Carolinas  2020 Annual Meeting and Scientific Sessions!

The 2020 Annual Meeting Program is again outstanding, thanks to the tireless work by the Program Committee. The Annual Meeting Sessions cover both basic and advanced topics germane to all physicians and practitioners who work with patients in pain.  No matter your specialty, we have sessions for you!   

Due to Circumstances beyond our Control, the Annual Meeting will be VIRTUAL only.  Unlimited attendance.  You will have access to this year's live meeting to watch it online from your home, office or wherever you feel most comfortable.  The program talks will be availabhle September 18, 2020 to December 31, 2020.  

Please note that your membership dues for 2021 are included in your fee.  AND you have access until December 31, 2020.

In an effort to encourage participation from members from all career stages, we will again host our annual Trainee Poster  Competition which will be online only this year.    Individuals from all educational programs are encouraged to submit an abstract and compete in this event.  All trainees who are accepted into the competition will be asked to submit a video poster oral presentation. These will be scored by attendees and faculty and the winner will receive free registration, travel and hotel to attend the 2021 Annual Meeting and present to the live audience. 

Trainees who submit an abstract for the Online Poster Competition which is accepted for online presentation, receive free online access to the Annual Meeting.
