The Department is once again hosting a group of healthcare
professionals and policy makers that discusses issues related to the fields
of pain and addiction medicine. Discussions will include topics, such as referral,
consultation between practicing physicians, questions about drug related side
effects, and regulations regarding the use of controlled drugs for pain.
Access to the list is limited to healthcare and regulatory
professionals. Visit the
group's homepage on Yahoo Groups for more information, or complete and

The Social Work Network in Palliative and End-of-Life Care
is a joint effort of the
Project on Death in America and the Department
of Pain Medicine and Palliative Care, Beth Israel Medical Center, New York.
This list provides an opportunity for social workers in such fields as oncology,
geriatrics, HIV, hospice, nephrology, and pediatrics to network and discuss
multidimensional aspects and issues related to palliative and end-of-life
care.
The goals and objectives of this email discussion group are to:
- Establish links among social work specialists in such areas as oncology,
geriatrics, HIV, hospice, nephrology, and pediatrics.
- Enhance and encourage communication, networking, and sharing of expertise among clinicians.
- Provide online notification of relevant research, and political and social policy issues.
- Provide opportunity for feedback and collaboration around clinical,
education, research, policy and professional issues.
- Identify areas of commonality and unmet needs of social workers practicing
in the areas of palliative care, pain, and end of life.
- Reduce isolation of social workers practicing in settings where there
is lack of opportunity for collaboration and mutual support.
- Develop a resource list of experts for referral, teaching and
joint project development.
This list is managed by Terry Altilio, LCSW, Dept. of Pain
Medicine and Palliative Care, Beth Israel Medical Center, NY; Wendy Walters,
