Who we are
The Faculty of Pain Medicine's research cohort is led by the FPM Research Committee and FPM Research Network, but the pain research community extends far beyond.
From research students and early career researchers to experienced investigators, clinicians, universities, research institutes, healthcare organisations, consumer advocacy groups, funding bodies and international collaborators, this diverse and interconnected community plays a vital role in advancing pain research.
