Keynotes

2019 Lindahl Lecturer

Winner of the 2022 Nobel Prize, Physiology or Medicine

Through his pioneering research, Svante Pääbo accomplished something seemingly impossible: sequencing the genome of the Neanderthal, an extinct relative of present-day humans. He also made the sensational discovery of a previously unknown hominin, Denisova. Importantly, Pääbo also found that gene transfer had occurred from these now extinct hominins to Homo sapiens following the migration out of Africa around 70,000 years ago. This ancient flow of genes to present-day humans has physiological relevance today, for example affecting how our immune system reacts to infections.

Continuing Education

California Required CME on Pain Management and the Appropriate Treatment of the Terminally Ill

AB487 requires physicians licensed in California to complete a one-time CME activity for 12 hours of credits that addresses both pain management and the appropriate care and treatment of the terminally ill. 

Portions of Napa Pain Conference Online contribute to AB487 and we’ve worked with the California Medical Board to support attendees under the Board’s new 2019 audit standards.

Minnesota Required CME on Opioid and Controlled Substance Prescribing

§214.12 subd. 6. AB487 requires licensees with the authority to prescribe controlled substances obtain at least two hours of continuing education credit on best practices in prescribing opioids and controlled substances, including nonpharmacological and implantable device alternatives for treatment of pain and ongoing pain management, as part of the continuing education requirements for licensure renewal. Licensees shall not be required to complete more than two credit hours of continuing education on best practices in prescribing opioids and controlled substances.

Portions of the Napa Pain Conference are designed to satisfy this statute for Minnesota licensees.
