Scholars Program in Pain Management

The first two HDC Scholars are Phyllis Mason, MS, RN,
CANP, Instructor; and Amanda Stefancyk, BSN, Graduate Student. They are
currently working on the
Storytelling Project, through which the Center hopes to gain a better
understanding of the circumstances surrounding disparities in health care as
experienced by the pain patient.
