Each year Pain School International offers a limited number of partial Scholarship opportunities to some excellent board certified physicians living and practicing in developing countries. The goal of the program is to improve chronic pain management in the physician’s home country.
Applicants will be evaluated by their proven commitment and dedication to pain management and their financial need.
