The Survey is now ready to complete here.

Provision of Pain Education in Medical, Physiotherapy, Nursing, and Psychology Training Programmes across Europe
The European Pain Federation EFIC Education Committee are examining the provision of Pain Education within Medical, Physiotherapy, Nursing and Psychology Training Programmes across Europe, as well as the availability of Postgraduate Pain Specialisation Options for these health professional groups. Quality of Pain Education in Training Programmes across Europe will be bench-marked against the four EFIC Curricula for Pain Medicine, Pain Physiotherapy, Pain Psychology, and Pain Nursing to identify gaps in education.
The full Survey will take approximately 15-20 minutes to complete. If education about pain does not feature in the Medical, Physiotherapy, Nursing, or Psychology Training Programme that you are referring to, the Survey will take less than 2 minutes to complete. The European Pain Federation EFIC respects your privacy and all responses will be anonymized. The Survey has received Ethical Approval from the University College of Dublin Human Research Ethics Committee. Any questions about this Survey or the Pain Education Study should be sent first to EFIC’s Research Projects Advisor Dr Mary O’Keeffe at mary.okeeffe@efic.org. Thank you for your interest in this important work!
