ABA training and testing covers the entire spectrum of pain management. A big part of the certification process is Maintenance of Certification, which means doctors stay up to-date with changes in their particular specialty. Changes occur in medicine rapidly — new technologies, new approaches to treatment, new surgical techniques. It’s an evolutionary process, and tough to keep up with. If you maintain board certification, you’re more on top of things. If we’re really interested in the patients that we say we’re there to take care of, then it behooves us to be committed to lifelong learning.
