More than 300 attendees participated in the 24th Annual Clinical Meeting of AAPM which was held in JW Marriott, a resort hotel in Orlando, Florida from 26th to 29th September, 2013. The theme of the meeting centered around the topic on "Explore the Science, Practice the Art of Integrated Pain Management".
The meeting was opened officially by its Board President, then followed by a keynote delivered by Dr Tracy Gaudet on 'Cultural Transformation'.

She considered it an ethical imperative to embrace the concept and to get it across to veterans.
