She is currently an assistant professor at the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, Worcester campus and an adjunct assistant professor for the department of family medicine and community health at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. Dr. Matthews became interested in pain management during her residency training, when she worked closely with the hospital's pain and palliative care service. As she took on her role as a pharmacy faculty member, she expanded her pain management knowledge by training under primary care physicians who treat numerous patients afflicted with various chronic pain syndromes. She is responsible for teaching all pain management modules within the curriculum at MCPHS-Worcester/Manchester and also educates practitioners and medical students and residents at the University of Massachusetts Medical School on the pharmacotherapy for pain. She was recently awarded a HRSA grant for $300,000 to improve the care of patients with chronic pain at her practice, an urban family health center in Central Massachusetts. She has served on the Professional Education Committee for the Massachusetts Pain Initiative, an affiliate of the American Cancer Society. She has published pain management-related papers in peer-reviewed journals and currently serves on the editorial board for the Five-Minute Clinical Consult textbook.
