Welcome Message

Dear Esteemed Colleagues,

It is with great pleasure that we extend to you an invitation from the Taiwan WIP Registered Society to the 7th Annual Symposium, Workshop, and Examination at National Taiwan University (NTU) in Taipei, Taiwan, titled “INNOVATION IN CHANGING TIMES.” This event is scheduled to take place from January 16 to 19, 2025, and we are honored to host this gathering at our esteemed International Convention Center of NTUH.

As we navigate through the complexities of the modern medical landscape, the necessity for adaptation in a fast-changing medical model has never been more critical. This symposium aims to address the dynamic integration of biomedical sciences within the specialty of interventional pain, emphasizing the importance of innovative and sustainable therapies.

Our program will explore the broadening frontiers of the Interventional Pain Specialty, highlighting the latest advancements and techniques. We are committed to the continuous efforts for the enlightenment of pain therapies, maintaining an ethical vision of biomedical practice as our guiding principle.

The symposium will feature a series of lectures, hands-on workshops, and examinations designed to enhance your knowledge and skills. We have gathered distinguished professors and experts from around the globe to share their insights and experiences, fostering an environment of learning and professional development.

On behalf of World Institute of Pain, the WIP Examination Board and the Taiwan WIP Registered Society, we warmly welcome all attendees and distinguished professors coming from abroad, whose participation underscores the international spirit of collaboration and education that this scientific event embodies.
