About

The Pain Olympics is an interactive, Jeopardy-style competition featuring teams of residents and fellows competing head-to-head in a fast-paced battle of clinical knowledge. Question categories will span core areas of pain medicine and neuromodulation, including anatomy, device troubleshooting, landmark studies, clinical decision-making, and ethical scenarios. This session is designed to reinforce high-yield educational content through gamification while promoting teamwork, engagement, and professional camaraderie among trainees. In addition to the competitors, audience members will benefit by reinforcing their own knowledge base while enjoying a high-energy, entertaining educational experience. The session also serves to spotlight emerging talent within the neuromodulation community.
