The NWPF sponsors educational rounds, held monthly on the last Wednesday of the month at 12:00 (Pacific Time). The rounds link pain care practitioners throughout BC and Alberta using a ZOOM platform.
Presentations are made by speakers from these centres and encompass a wide variety of pain-related clinical and research topics. The rounds are registered with the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada for CME (MOC section I) credit.
