Abstract
Changing political and economic realities are placing increasing pressure on the practice of medicine in general, and pain medicine and interventional pain management in particular. Involvement in state medical societies and the American Medical Association (AMA) is still a relevant approach to influencing the local and national practice of medicine. Involvement in pain-related specialty societies with a goal of increasing physician member involvement in health policy initiatives may be an option for those with an interest in influencing their professional destiny.
