2 Message From ASIPP Chairman On behalf of the Board of the American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians, it is my pleasure to invite you to attend the Comprehensive Fluoroscopy and Radiation Safety Interventional Pain Management Review Course on April The ABIPP Competency Certification examination in Fluoroscopic Interpretation and Radiation Safety will be administered at the conclusion of the course, on Sunday, April 15. We have revised our program to meet the continuing needs of interventionalists, based on member input and a needs assessment. This course provides educational information on fluoroscopy radiation risks and methods to reduce these risks to both patient and personnel, fluoroscopic interpretation, appropriate needle placement, medical and legal compliance, and billing and coding. Participants will benefit from the course by improving existing skills, learning new skills, or prepare for the inter-ventional techniques certification examination, or prepare for the board examination. This course is an essential component for interventional pain physicians and provides educational opportunities to assist you in providing high quality, competent, safe, accessible, and cost-efficient services to your patients. The accompanying examination (open to physicians only) and this course, as with all ASIPP courses, focuses on doing the right things, the right way, and for the right reasons. Whether you have been practicing interventional pain management for many years or are new to the field with basic skills, we are confident you will find this fluoroscopy review course and beneficial, as it is essential to learn new and relevant information to survive in the new millennium. Our faculty consists of many experts in the field of fluoroscopy and interventional techniques. We hope you will take advantage of this exceptional opportunity for professional enhancement.
