Dr Mary Burnell history article

As pain medicine is a multi-disciplinary specialty, specialist pain medicine physicians come from a variety of backgrounds.

Our pain medicine photo library shows various aspects of pain medicine practice including consultations and treatment.

Our pioneering pain medicine training program is a two-year post-specialist qualification that leads to fellowship of the Faculty of Pain Medicine of the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists with the post nominals FFPMANZCA.

The Procedures in Pain Medicine Committee (PPMC) reports to FPM Professional Affairs Executive Committee (PAEC) on matters pertaining to the FPM endorsement in procedures in pain medicine

Our clinical skills courses and trainee tutorial program are designed to support pain medicine trainees.

The FPM Board oversees the activities of the faculty in accordance with the FPM by-laws and the ANZCA strategic plan.

The by-laws govern the conduct and management of the Faculty of Pain Medicine. 

As its name suggests, the History of Anaesthesia SIG is primarily concerned with researching and presenting the history of anaesthesia.

Our archives document the history and administration of the college, and its predecessor, as well as records of the Faculty of Pain Medicine. The archives are a rich source of primary material about the history of the organisation, and many individuals within it.
