MEMBERSHIP To join this SIG, you must be a CPS member in good standing. Opt into the SIG at the time of membership purchase. TERMS OF REFERENCE This Special Interest Group (SIG) will operate in accordance with the mission, bylaws, policies and procedures of the Canadian Pain Society (CPS). The SIG will provide processes for enhancing the following: interventional practice in pain management, related research activities, the training of practitioners, selection of patients, choice of appropriate procedures, application of appropriate and safe techniques, patient monitoring and post-procedure observation. As a Special Interest Group of the CPS, this SIG is by definition open to all disciplines on the basis of interest. This SIG particularly is expected to be of interest not only to interventional medical practitioners but also those other professionals involved in the assessment and selection of patients for procedures, and those professionals who have a role in the support of patients during procedures and recovery of patients following procedures, as well as clinical researchers who study ways to improve these procedures and basic science researchers who study mechanisms related to interventional procedures. GOALS
FINANCIAL SUPPORT Operations of the SIG will be managed according to the principles of the CPS, with special funding obtained for activities such as educational events from sources such as registration fees and educational grants.
