Goals are to assist VA sites in developing their own interdisciplinary pain management programs. Click HERE for more details about the education program.  Click HERE for a slide presentation covering the subject matter. Please email the program coordinator, Candon Norton, Psy.D., at the James A Haley VA in Tampa, FL for more information.
