JOINT PAIN EDUCATION PROGRAM

Mission

The JPEP is a collaboration effort between the Department of Defense (DoD) and Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to develop a standardized pain management curriculum to improve complex patient and provider education and training.

The Objectives of the JPEP are to:

• Standardize DoD/VHA education curriculum content, supporting materials, and a variety of commonly accessible delivery systems.
• Enhance pain care transition between the DoD and VA

• Commit to learning and training our providers, teams, centers, and agencies together; ultimately building a new model of pain care.
