Matt Bednarchik, DNP, CRNA, ARNP, NSPM-C
My name is Dr. Matt Bednarchik, I began my career as a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) in 2012 after graduating from southern Illinois University at Edwardsville with a Master's Degree in Nurse Anesthesia and obtaining board certification as a CRNA. I started my practice administering anesthesia at St. John's Hospital, a large Level 1 Trauma/Women and Children's Center in Springfield, Illinois. In 2014, I transitioned to Jacksonville Memorial Hospital, a Critical Access Hospital in Jacksonville, Illinois. I 2015, I founded the Center for Pain Management at Jacksonville Memorial Hospital with a colleague Physician Anesthesiologist. The Center for Pain Management is a full-service pain clinic offering medicine management for chronic pain, spinal injections, join injections, migraine management (including Botox injections for migraines), lidocaine infusions for fibromyalgia, trigger point injections and nerve blocks to treat chronic pain conditions.
I completed my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) in 2021 at Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville. Additionally, I finished an Advanced Pain Management Fellowship at the University of South Florida and obtained additional board certification in Nonsurgical Pain Management (NSPM-C) in 2021, becoming double board certified as a CRNA. The NSPM-C subspecialty board certification is a voluntary program for CRNAs who have demonstrated distinctive knowledge and a specific skill set in the subspecialty practice of chronic pain management outside of the operating room.
In 2018, I joined the faculty at Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville and continue there as a part-time professor and clinical coordinator, mentoring future CRNAs in Anesthesia and Acute/Chronic Pain Management.
