2018 Global Year for Excellence in Pain Education

The 2018 Global Year for Excellence in Pain Education is underway. This year-long initiative raises international awareness and offers resources for pain researchers and clinicians.

This year, the goal of IASP’s annual initiative is to improve education of health-care professionals and educators, students, government entities, the research community, patients, and the public about pain. Articles published in PAIN related to pain education are marked with the Global Year logo and added to an article collection.
