Courses not sponsored by WIP, which may be of interest to pain physicians in this region, include the following activities offered under the banner of my pain clinic DARADIA. We are providing training to five participants each month for two weeks, whereby participants observe all interventions and perform procedures on an indigenously-prepared mannequin. More than 50 participants have completed this course over the past year; 25 in the past six months from all over our country and also from outside our country.A cadaveric workshop was held in January 2008.
We organised one free pain management camp in April 2008 where 20 consultants from
India and abroad gave their opinion on 120 difficult pain problems.
Also in April 2008 we organized a workshop that consisted of live demonstrations, meet the experts one-to-one interaction, hands-on training, understanding CT and MRI, and operation of instruments.
Future programs are planned, including the continuation of the two-week training course, a workshop on 5-7 September 2008, and a special training program for candidates preparing for the FIPP examination.

This section is represented by six FIPPs – five in
India and one in
Iran. I do not claim to be doing much for WIP, but I promise maximum candidates for the FIPP examination from north
India in the near future, as I am presently training about 20 anaesthesiologists at Khyber Medical Institute in
Jammu and Kashmir for the FIPP examination. My intention is not only that they pass the FIPP examination, but also that they preserve the high standards of the FIPP for all graduates.
I am also planning a
North India conference on interventional pain practice to which 200 candidates are invited. This conference will be in August 2008, and I will be actively inviting doctors from WIP.
