The Maverick Chronic Pain Series is designed for medical providers currently practicing, starting, or investigating the pain management field. The lack of comprehensive pain education for medical providers and an overwhelming number of patients suffering from chronic pain is the driving force behind the need for this education. Medical providers in pain management must be adequately educated in the physiology, assessment, and diagnosis of pain as well as the variety of treatment options in both the acute and chronic pain settings.
Each course in the Chronic Pain Series includes online didactic modules and a hands-on cadaver lab. The online didactic material is delivered in an interactive and engaging format, with pre-recorded lectures, interactive quizzes, and hands-on exercises designed to prepare the learner for the cadaver lab.

Chronic Pain Course Testimonials
I highly recommend Maverick’s Chronic Pain Course Part One. The combination of online modules and hands-on cadaver lab has been incredibly informative. In the first course alone, I learned a great deal about analyzing fluoroscopy images, identifying anatomy, and mastering needling techniques. The instructors are truly exceptional!
This course is well worth the cost. The knowledge and experience of the instructors is truly fantastic. I will attend the next two programs, and be well on my way to being able to proceed pain services with this foundational knowledge, while attending my fellowship.
Very helpful course, easy to understand and a must (like the first course) especially for the ones in the NSPM Fellow. I like the fact that I can always come back to the videos and the essence of the information. Many things will be reviewed again in time and to be able to come back to the knowledge gained is awesome ! Thank you Maverick!
I can’t imagine how much work these courses are to put together so thank you for all you do! This is an amazing course.
All Maverick Courses and Didactic Sessions have been an Elite learning experience! This particular course with the addition of some of THE BEST CRNAs training the next generation of providers was an amazing experience. I will likely repeat this particular course yearly. Thank you and your team for your investment into the next generation!
As usual, I never regret signing up for any Maverick course. You guys know how to do it well. Always professional not just on the clinical side but from the administrative side as well. Very grateful to have found you guys and how much you have and will continue to have influence on my practice!
Gets down to the nitty gritty of US guided injections. Still lots to learn but this was the catalyst that will enable me to succeed.
Excellent hands on course, especially if you are considering pain fellowship or before you start fellowship. I would highly recommend for amount of driving needle time on cadavers.
This was a great course from top to bottom. The modules, the mock patients, and the hands-on cadaver experience was all phenomenal. I would recommend this course to anyone interested in doing fluoroscopic injections of the spine because when you finish you will have a great foundation of when and how to do it.
