It will be followed by the FIPP-CIPS examination which will be held by the Board of Examination of the World Institute of Pain on the 31st of October 2023.
The fluoroscopic (FIPP) and ultrasound (CIPS) cadaver workshop and simulation will include all essential and important interventional procedures for chronic pain. Our main goal is to present the scopes of pain medicine, Algology on an interventional level.
The scientific program committee established on a multidisciplinary multinational level, formed of well known colleagues who gave their whole lifes to Pain Medicine will give you the real taste of pain medicine, Algology. We are looking forward to welcome you in the 6th Interventional Pain Istanbul which will be organized this time in Antalya.
