- Abstract/Summary:
- Pain is a public health issue that has reached crisis proportions with social, ethical, legal and economic consequences. Unfortunately, a wide gap exists between pain research and clinical practice. While scientists constantly produce new knowledge relevant to pain prevention and clinical care, much of their work is never incorporated into practice. Similarly, clinical problems are rarely translated into research questions and projects. We must work together to effectively integrate research of pain mechanisms and its neural underpinnings with pain management using knowledge translation strategies, and ensure optimal outcomes for individuals who suffer from pain. Accordingly, we established the Human Pain Seminar Series (HPSS), where speakers of different career stages can present their work to a global audience of peers. Now, we aim to expand the HPSS to include an in-person knowledge exchange and training summit that brings 45 of the best and brightest graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and clinical trainees to learn from a group of global human pain research experts in a range of disciplines in basic science and clinical fields. Trainees come from the University of Toronto and other leading international universities. The goal of this summit is to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and creative new methods for pain research and innovation, and a unique learning and networking opportunity for trainees. The theme of our inaugural 2024 summit will be "Advances in Pain Neuroimaging: harnessing individual differences to delineate mechanisms and biomarkers of disease". The CIHR Planning and Dissemination Grant will allow us to establish the Symposium to highlight Canadian achievements in pain to provide cutting edge training and attract and recruit future talent from across Canada and the world to participate in this unique and highly acclaimed opportunity.
