Dear Colleagues,

The World Institute of Pain was founded in 1993 as a worldwide organization that aims to promote the best practice of pain medicine for the 21st century. The Goal is to educate and train personnel of member pain centers by including local hands-on training, international seminars, and exchange of clinicians. Update pain centers with state-of-the-art pain information, including a newsletter, scientific seminars, interlined telecommunications, and publication of a journal and books.

World Institute of Pain has 30 Sections from all over the world. The World Institute of Pain® (WIP) in 2007 established an international framework of WIP Sections that encourages the promotion and development of WIP’s membership network, WIP-endorsed activities, and liaisons with individuals or groups with similar interests in fields related to best practice of pain management.

On January 14, 2017, the Executive Board of the World Institute of Pain® (WIP) agreed to support requests by official Sections of WIP to register their Sections in their countries when doing so would better empower FIPP® (Fellow of Interventional Pain Practice®). Members of WIP to organize educational activities in accordance with the non-profit mission and aims of WIP.

This is a new and exciting step in the history of World Institute of Pain to register their Sections in their countries when doing so would better empower FIPP® (Fellow of Interventional Pain Practice®) Members of WIP to organize educational activities in accordance with the non-profit mission and aims of WIP.
