The creation of any new program can be an involved and arduous task, as many factors (e.g. staffing, financial) play a substantial role in the program�?¢�?�?�?�?s success. For healthcare programs, these factors must also be considered in conjunction with clinical care needs. In the world of pediatric chronic pain treatment, navigating these considerations well is crucial for the advancement of the field, as interdisciplinary care has become the standard of practice (APS, 2012), and the need for creation of new interdisciplinary care clinics is on the rise. Through this presentation, we aim to advocate for an interdisciplinary pediatric chronic pain treatment model and offer practical considerations and challenges for teams and institutions seeking to create such a clinic program. Roles and staffing, clinic models, financial considerations, and patient outcomes data are covered.
