Scope of Practice for Anesthesiologists
Your anesthesiology training provides a strong foundation for interventional pain management.
Full Interventional Authority
As a board-certified anesthesiologist, you already possess extensive training in regional anesthesia, pharmacology, and patient monitoring. Your expertise in nerve blocks, spinal and epidural techniques, and ultrasound guidance provides an excellent foundation for transitioning into outpatient interventional pain management. Additional training allows you to expand into comprehensive chronic pain care outside the OR setting.
Revenue Potential
Outpatient pain management offers strong reimbursement with better lifestyle balance than hospital-based anesthesia.
Procedures You Can Perform
- Joint injections (all major joints)
- Trigger point injections
- Peripheral nerve blocks
- Epidural steroid injections
- Facet joint & medial branch blocks
Diagnostic Services
Add NCV/EMG diagnostic testing to identify nerve damage, radiculopathies, and neuromuscular disorders—complementing your interventional procedures and improving diagnostic precision.
Quick Transition
Your existing procedural skills accelerate the learning curve. Most anesthesiologists begin performing new outpatient procedures within days of training.
Certified Practitioner Program
AAOPM offers Certified Practitioner pathways in pain management. Additional credentials demonstrate your commitment to pain medicine, enhance credibility with patients and referral sources, and differentiate your practice in a competitive market.
