IMPORTANT: When renewing your AMA Annual Membership
Please select "Section of Chronic Pain" as your primary affiliation. You can save money as we are less costly than most default sections. You can still keep your secondary affiliation with family medicine, anesthesia, or another specialty.
Growing the membership of the Section of Chronic Pain is essential to showing stakeholders that pain care and pain physicians are valued in Alberta.
