This week on Turf Today, hosts Adam Courchaine and Brian Laurent sit down with Professor Jim Huntoon, the man growing the next generation of turf legends at Horry-Georgetown Technical College in Conway, South Carolina. After years in the trenches as a golf course superintendent, Jim swapped early mornings and greens mowing for lectures and life lessons. We dive into his journey from managing turf to managing turf students — the wins, the wild stories, and a few growing pains along the way. Tune in for laughs, wisdom, and a behind-the-scenes look at life on the education side. Thank you to our sponsors and our community for your continued support.

Summary The video covers a conversation between Dr. David Rosenblum and Dr. Hamed Sadeghipour, discussing board preparation experiences and the current state of pain management practice. Dr. Rosenblum begins by announcing upcoming events, including a May 17th ultrasound course in New York City and his lectures at various conferences. He also mentions shadowing opportunities at his office. Dr. Sadeghipour shares his board preparation experience, discussing three main resources he used: Huntoon book (800 questions), Board Vitals (700 questions), and Pain Exam. He achieved notably high scores using these resources. Regarding his current practice, Dr. Sadeghipour describes working both in academic anesthesia (40-50% time) and private pain practice, managing four offices with four nurse practitioners.  The discussion then shifts to the changing landscape of pain management, with both doctors noting concerning trends: increasing focus on surgery center procedures over office-based ones due to reimbursement differences, the challenge of maintaining competency in advanced procedures, and competition from non-specialists entering the field. They also discuss the future of the specialty, suggesting it's moving toward becoming a hybrid of neurosurgery and orthopedic surgery with traditional pain management procedures.  For pain medicine Board Prep go to NRAPpain.org For ultraound training go to NRAP Academy Highlights Introduction and Upcoming Events Dr. Rosenblum introduces the podcast and announces several upcoming events, including an ultrasound course in New York City on May 17th, appearances at ASPN and Pain Week conferences, and opportunities for shadowing at his practice.

Current Practice Structure Dr. Sadeghipour describes his dual practice model: Evolution of Pain Management Practice Both doctors discuss the shifting landscape of pain management, noting increased focus on surgery center procedures, reimbursement challenges, and competition from non-specialists. They address concerns about fellowship training adequacy and the financial pressures affecting new practitioners.
