Learn about paediatric pain with Online Paediatric Pain Curriculum (Friday, July 21, 2017)
Pain is often undertreated in clinical settings and represents an underfunded area of health research in Canada.

The Pain Centre, in partnership with the Learning Institute at SickKids, has developed the Online Paediatric Pain Curriculum (OPPC) to address these issues.
