UW Pain Medicine: The first of its kind
Welcome to UW, home of the world’s first multidisciplinary pain clinic.

We are a national leader in the education of primary and specialty health care providers, and we conduct transformative research to develop new treatments and improve patient lives and outcomes.

The Pacific Northwest is a fantastic place to live and train. There are endless weekend trip destinations, easy convenience to winter sports, and a plethora of food options. From Seattle, my wife and I have had the opportunity to take relatively convenient trips to destinations in the Pacific. It’s a great place to call home!
