Dr.V's Signature Keynote Presentations
STOP THE STIGMA

Drawing on clinical research, real patient stories, and the tools found in the TPT Toolkit, she equips audiences with clear, actionable strategies to deliver more precise, compassionate, and effective pain care.
FOCUS ON FUNCTION
In this keynote, Dr. Vanterpool challenges traditional pain management approaches that rely solely on pain scores, urging clinicians to “focus on function” instead.
