Involvement with Pain Management
In 1991, Dr. Stein was bitten by the anesthesia & pain management bug while attending a multiday program at Michigan State. His general practice, the Amherst Small Animal Hospital, began the widespread use of pain medications shortly thereafter. In 1997 Dr. Stein began a series of 7 anesthesia & pain management clerkships at Michigan State University. Just last February (2006) Dr. Stein spent the entire month on the anesthesia & pain management service at the University of Florida. In December of 2005 Dr. Stein successfully completed the American Academy of Pain Management credentialing process making him only the 4th veterinarian to be awarded the title of Diplomate, American Academy of Pain Management. 2006 also saw Dr. Stein complete the Chi Institute small animal acupuncture program. Dr. Stein has gone to extraordinary lengths to expand every opportunity for other veterinarians to bridge the gap from the limited programs still the norm in small animal general practice to that which he knows is currently possible with the appropriate investment in training and equipment. To this end Dr. Stein created the Veterinary Anesthesia & Analgesia Support Group website; a site that currently hosts ~20 thousand visitors monthly. Dr. Stein is also one of a select group of anesthesia & analgesia consultants on the Veterinary Information Network; an advanced information provider to over 31 thousand veterinarians and veterinary students worldwide.
