WIP Miami 2012

Since 1993, the World Institute of Pain (WIP) has helped to educate, train, and provide a global forum for the efforts of thousands of pain physicians throughout the world who dedicate themselves to the worldwide phenomenon of acute and chronic pain syndromes. The WIP Foundation’s mission is to ensure that patients in developing and underdeveloped countries will have the access to trained pain physicians for the eradication of pain and suffering. Scholarships will be provided on an on-going basis to the physicians in need, who wish to train worldwide in approved cadaver workshops, symposia and world congresses.

In addition, our goal is to expand our resources to the pain patient in order to educate them on available treatments and forums for the betterment of their individual lives, locally, by partnering with Pain Pathways, the Official Magazine of the World Institute of Pain, a consumer based pain publication. The WIPF also bestows the distinguished Hassenbusch Award to the individuals who embody the highest principles of excellence embraced by WIP & WIPF annually, to promote recognition of advancements in pain medicine.

The Foundation is currently looking for funding to facilitate global research to promote new innovations for chronic complex pain, including cancer pain.

As we continue to be challenged by the realities of pain medicine worldwide, financial help is now even more important to resolve the issues before us. This help can come in the form of small or large projects such as, scholarships to physicians and trainees to attend WIP approved educational meetings, congresses and workshops, allowing the far away pain physician to certify by taking the FIPP examination, or by joining the cause as we work towards recognition of pain as a unique specialty by WHO and other governmental organizations.

Recently, WIPF joined together with WIP, EFIC & WSPC to declare and promote the Declaration of Miami. We are urging anyone who is involved in pain, knows someone in pain, or is a caregiver for someone in pain, to make a difference and sign the on-line declaration at www.wipfoundation.org.”>Read More…
