We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit professional organization dedicated solely to training healthcare professionals to become Credentialed Pain Educators (CPEs) who are specialized resources for pain management in their clinical settings. As the only agency for training pain educators, the ASPE teaches healthcare professionals to educate their peers and patients, together with families and caregivers, on ways to relieve pain by the safest means possible.
The ASPE is the fastest growing pain organization in the US today. As the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations requires pain management education in all of its accredited institutions, the ASPE goal is to eventually have a CPE in every JCAHO-accredited facility.

The American Society of Pain Educators (ASPE) will launch a month-long calendar of educational events focused on pain management education for healthcare providers during Pain Awareness Month, September 2006.

Eliot Cole, MD, MPA, Executive Director of the American Society of Pain Educators. Noting that half of all visits to primary care physicians are pain-related, Dr. Cole said, “We must provide information and tools to support the frontline practitioners who treat the majority of people in pain: primary care physicians, nurses and nurse practitioners, physician assistants and pharmacists.” Learn more
