Promoting education, strengthening neuromodulation<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Interventional pain medicine \u2013 and neuromodulation in particular \u2013 is a highly specialized field in which clinical experience, technical skill, and interdisciplinary collaboration must go hand in hand. Building these competencies requires time, structured curricula, and centers that are prepared to systematically mentor the next generation.

With the Grant Fellowship Neuromodulation<\/strong>, the SSIPM, together with its industry partners, supports one Swiss pain center each year in hiring and comprehensively training a fellow for twelve months. In this way, we make a concrete investment in the next generation of pain specialists \u2013 and thus directly in the quality of patient care in Switzerland. <\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n
