Chronic pain conditions affect 24% of the US population and account for the greatest cause of disability.

In 2024, the @NIH convened a working group of pain researchers and clinicians, including @TawfikLab, to help shape the next five years of pain research funding through the HEAL Initiative. The result was a new report outlining 10 priorities for the future of pain medicine.

The authors note that these recommendations are intended to invite further active discussion across the pain research community. What do you think of the 10 priorities?

Every month that you neglect your physical health while early in your career, you incur a debt that you will repay later on, when you should be in the prime of your career.

I’ve learned this now but I wish I could have explained this to my 30-year-old self.

“Healing begins with presence and human connection. In anesthesiology, the preanesthetic encounter should center on the patient and their family – acknowledging fear, answering questions, and building trust” write Drs. Burke Bradley and @Amr_Abouleish.

Trauma patients are vulnerable to long-term prescription opioid use (LTPOU) due to high prevalence of postinjury pain. We aimed to understand the predictors of LTPOU in the trauma population and the long-term functional outcomes associated with it.

Anesthesiology is one of the most competitive specialties in the country. Dr. Jagga just secured a position in it. In the post-match period. That does not happen by accident. It happens with 30 years of placement expertise, a proven strategy, and a team that does not stop working until you get there. Congratulations Dr. Jagga, we are incredibly proud of you!

💬 Viewpoint by Canio Martinelli, MD, MSc, Vincenzo Carnevale, PhD, MSc, Alfredo Ercoli, MD, PhD, and Antonio Giordano, MD, PhD: #AI yields higher empathy scores in text assessments but cannot perform clinical examination or patient care. Clinician oversight and presence remain essential in #Medicine.

💬 Viewpoint: Mandatory annual training modules consume millions of physician‑hours each year, yet their largely passive formats may offer limited educational value while contributing to administrative burden and clinician burnout.

1/ New in JAMA Network Open: 21 frontier LLMs tested on 29 clinical vignettes that simulate real diagnostic workflows. Not just "what's the diagnosis" but the whole process. Differential, testing, final dx, management.
The party line? They're not ready for primetime. But I'm not so sure...
