Andrea Trescot, MD

Dr. Andrea Trescot discusses the American Board of Interventional Pain Physicians (ABIPP) certification, describing it as the only board certification in pain management in the United States that measures theoretical and clinical competency skills that have been acquired. Dr. Trescot also explains that the ABIPP covers controlled-substance management and practice management, which are unique aspects of the boards. She further mentions that this oral and written exam presents examinees with practical scenarios and requires cadaver demonstrations to determine whether the examinees are medically competent to perform safe and ethical medical procedures. The ABIPP is unique in its ability to access theoretical and practical capabilities.
