painSTAR: Pain School for Translation And Research

 

painSTAR brings together a group of exceptional clinical and early-mid career academic researchers to participate in an intensive program focussed on linking the bench to bedside.

Pain Schools foster interdisciplinary collaboration, accelerated translation of research findings to care delivery, and the development of skills to help influence political/health service systems - all topics that are critical for high quality translational pain research but are rarely covered in standard teaching/conference curriculum. Consumer representatives will once again be part of the faculty, providing attendees with exposure to the personal and social consequences of living with persistent pain, and providing inspiration about the importance of translational pain research.
