Plenary Sessions

Dr. Anita Hickey Memorial Lecture: Why We Need a Pain Revolution: From Science to Practice

Dr. Anita Hunt Hickey trained in Pain Medicine at Harvard’s Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Boston Children’s Hospital. She participated in numerous working groups on pain management and integrative medicine for the Department of Defense and the VA and was selected as the U.S. Navy Integrative Medicine and Pain Medicine representative for the Army Surgeon General’s task force on pain management. She was a speaker with 30+ years’ experience and treated military and civilian patients with chronic and acute pain by focusing on the use of Integrative and Holistic Pain Medicine. Our team was very fortunate to have benefited from her knowledge and expertise for many years at the Pain Care Skills Trainings. Dr. Hickey was a valuable asset to the Pain DoD Community and will be deeply missed.
