Winners of the 2023-2024 Mayday Pain and Society Fellowship
Drs. Deepa Kattail and Tania Di Renna
Congratulations to Dr. Deepa Kattail, and Dr. Tania Di Renna, who were among twelve experts in pain science and care, to be named Fellows of the Mayday Pain & Society Fellowship: Communicating Science & Improving Care.
The fellows were selected by the Mayday Fund and came from across the United States and Canada with a wide range of expertise, including anesthesiology, nursing, pediatric care and psychology.
“This new cohort of fellows have dedicated their careers to understanding, managing, and alleviating pain and suffering for people across North America,” said Christina Spellman, the Mayday Fund’s executive director. “The Mayday Fellowship will increase their strategic communications skills so that they can make an even greater difference in advancing the study of pain and in advocating for the best multidisciplinary approaches to address and reduce it.”
During the workshop in Washington, D.C., from October 29 to November 1, 2023, Fellows will learn skills to effectively communicate and advocate for the translation of scientific research and evidence-based best practices in pain care and management. Following the workshop, the Fellows will receive individualized, follow-up coaching to help them pursue their strategic advocacy goals.
