Tight Lipped - The Patient Advocacy Group (which I am a part of) has started their OBGYN Residency Lecture Series on Pelvic Pain!
First up is a 40 min Lecture by Dr. Kiran Sigmon, MD who is a phenomenal vulvodynia expert and has her own clinic to treat said conditions. Check out the lecture here and see below some highlights and key resources she mentioned (& more from MedPsycMoss Collections ) on treating patients with pelvic pain.
"There are two main educational goals of teaching providers to care for people with chronic pain. The first is the pattern of recognition of the various conditions that can cause pain and their treatment options. As important is getting to know and care for the human with the pain. This talk was my attempt to introduce both as equally important for any clinician."- Dr. Kiran Sigmon, MD

Pain Reframed - Evidence in Motion
"Pain Reframed is a podcast for physical therapists, occupational therapists, physical therapy assistants and other health care providers about pain and how pain is managed in our society. Pain is a large issue right now and we will bring powerful and helpful insights on how we can manage pain in a much more efficient and effective way. Pain Reframed is committed to changing language and practice patterns across disciplines and points of care in order to reduce the unnecessary suffering that results from the propagation of misinformation, insufficient understanding of the pain experience, and the over-medicalization of pain in society. Dr. Tim Flynn, PHD and Jeff Moore, DPT will share their expertise, as well as the expertise from others in the medical and psychological fields, about pain management and our roles in dealing with pain. We want to create a sustainable, multi-disciplinary, international conversation on pain."
