Dear Friends, Colleagues, and Supporters of
WIP
The mission of WIP since its founding in
1993 has been to facilitate advanced educational
and training opportunities for physicians in pain
management; examine and certify qualified interventional
pain physician specialists as Fellows of Interventional
Pain Practice; and publish PAIN Practice, the official
journal of WIP. Thanks to the support of hundreds
of pain physicians around the world who have joined
hands through WIP to enhance global recognition
of the specialty of pain medicine through participation
in advanced clinical and scholarly programs,
WIP has accomplished its goals admirably. With
the successes of WIP, the evidence is more apparent
that the time to expand the scope and reach of our
mission is now in order to benefit more populations
around the world. Toward this end, the World Institute
of Pain Foundation was established.
The World Institute of Pain Foundation
aims to strategize and facilitate educational, teaching,
and research initiatives throughout the world, with
special emphasis on Third World and developing countries.
With support from industry and non-industry partners,
the World Institute of Pain Foundation will support
global clinical and basic science research protocols,
an epidemiological database for incidences of pain
and its disorders, and scholarships for advanced
physician training and certification in pain medicine.
We invite you to become a charter supporter
of the World Institute of Pain Foundation.
Best regards,
WORLD INSTITUTE OF PAIN FOUNDATION
