Megan O. Doyle is an occupational therapist who has practiced in a variety of healthcare settings, currently working for St. Luke's Health System in Boise, ID at their Elks Inpatient Rehabilitation Hospital. She was drawn to pain science as an OT due to occupational therapy's scope of practice being rooted in mental and behavioral health, in addition to the promotion of self-management strategies for clients. She recently achieved a Fellowship in Pain Sciences through Evidence in Motion/International Spine & Pain Institute, of which she is only the second OT practitioner to do so. She not only delivers pain neuroscience education (PNE) and interventions one on one to clients, but she also provides guidance towards comprehensively integrating non-pharmacological pain treatment and PNE for all patients via an interdisciplinary perspective, especially in the treatment of acute pain in her health system. Megan has presented on a multitude of pain-related topics at the state and national level, both to occupational therapy and multidisciplinary audiences.
