Basic information
This application requires uploading both a resume and a letter of recommendation. Please have both ready to upload when you start the application.
The Oregon Pain Management Commission (OPMC) is established within the Oregon Health Authority. The commission’s primary objectives are to:
(a) Develop pain management recommendations;
(b) Develop ways to improve pain management services through research, policy analysis and model projects; and
(c) Represent the concerns of patients in Oregon on issues of pain management to the Governor and the Legislative Assembly.
OPMC is supported by staff from the Oregon Health Authority (OHA).
OHA's definition of health equity is "Oregon will have established a health system that creates health equity when all people can reach their full health potential and well-being and are not disadvantaged by their race, ethnicity, language, disability, age, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, social class, intersections among these communities or identities, or other socially determined circumstances.
Achieving health equity requires the ongoing collaboration of all regions and sectors of the state, including tribal governments to address:
The equitable distribution or redistribution of resources and power; and
Recognizing, reconciling and rectifying historical and contemporary injustices."
