Become an EFIC Academy Member today!
For over 25 years, the European Pain Federation has brought together the European pain science community to advance education, research, and clinical management of pain. The chapters of the European Pain Federation (The IASP-recognised chapters in Europe) represent around 20,000 physicians, researchers, nurses, physiotherapists, psychologists and other healthcare professionals from 37 countries across Europe.
The European Pain Federation now invites individual healthcare professionals and researchers to join the European Pain Federation Academy, where individuals can benefit from a wide variety of professional development benefits, primarily around the subject of pain education. The educational programme of the Federation sets a high standard across Europe, and this is the best way to follow that programme and to enjoy the highest quality educational materials.
