The Pain Management & Advanced Pain Management programs are scheduled on consecutive days for your convenience, and to maximize your training experience. Low back pain is one of the most common afflictions in our society. Almost every person will have at least one episode of low back pain at some time in his or her life.

This program will provide training for physicians in the latest pain management injections techniques. Pain management continues to rank among the highest paying sub specialty services. Our usual physician attendees are specialists in Family Practice, Internal Medicine, General Surgery and other Primary Care Physicians.

Our lead instructor for this program is Ernest Roman, MD who is a Board Certified Physician specializing in Pain Management.

Dr. Roman enjoys teaching and has encouraged primary care physicians to learn these new pain management injection procedures. Medical students have said that Dr Roman has made learning procedures easy for them because of his patience and exceptional teaching skills. Dr. Roman is joined by additional Empire Faculty of Specialists during the clinical, hands on portion of the training.

This program has been expanded from the original, to include not only the Blind or palpatory technique for performing many of these procedures, but now you will receive extensive training in Fluoroscopically Guided Injection techniques. This is a very comprehensive, detailed Hands On Workshop. After the initial didactic-lecture portion of the program, physicians will receive extensive hands on training. This is accomplished using Human Cadavers as well as Custom Fabricated Proprietary Injection Models, used specifically for learning Facet and Spinal Injections. Empire Medical Training has provided this training for the past 11 years and is one of the most recognized training programs for learning injection procedures. Our instructors are top pain management physicians with extensive, day to day experience in Pain Management Injections. Advanced, Preceptorship training with an instructor can also be arranged after completing the initial workshop.

Image guidance (either Fluoroscopic or Ultrasonic) is typically an integral part of performing spinal injections. In addition to the precision added when using Image Guidance, there is an increase in reimbursement as well. This will be presented during the coding and reimbursement portion of the program. Although these procedures are generously reimbursed by most insurance companies, it is of the utmost importance that physicians adhere to strict medical necessity and adhere to their local insurance carrier and Medicare guidelines in order to prevent incorrect coding and over utilization.

The training begins with didactic material covering the specific principles of the various medical procedures then, later in the day, physicians will receive hands-on training to gain proficiency in the various injection procedures.

You will learn specifically how to perform the Palpatory Method, as well as learn to perform the various injections using Fluoroscopic and Ultrasound techniques. This includes working on volunteer patients, injection models or cadavers from the local medical school.

Training will also include how to perform the various injection techniques using ultrasound guidance for accurate, precise needle placement.

On Day 2, physicians will learn specific methods to ensure the appropriate reimbursement for these high paying procedures, as well as learn the business principles to successfully integrate these new services into their practice. You will learn to access local Medicare policies for your geographic area. We urge attendees to follow their local Medicare and insurance carrier's guidelines.

In addition to CME Credits, a Certificate Of Achievement is presented upon successful completion and demonstration of the various injection procedures.
