This year’s conference brings together a multi-national panel of experts who will share their insights and expertise from various places around the world, spanning from Canada to Asia and Australia. We are excited to facilitate an exchange of ideas and knowledge among global minds from various specialties, as we collaborate to improve the lives of children.
We have an exceptional lineup of speakers who will discuss a range of novel topics. Our first session, “What’s New,” touches on advancements in the standardization and assessment of pain. Our first speaker, Dr. Allen Finley, is Pediatric Anesthesiologist and Professor at Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia who has dedicated over 30 years to pain research while also holding multiple leadership positions in Canadian and international anesthesiology and pain societies. He will be presenting “A Canadian National Pediatric Pain Standard.” Dr. Sarah Wallwork is Research Fellow in the Body in Mind Research Group of the University of South Australia. With a background in physiotherapy and research focus in pain neurobiology and pediatric pain, she will be speaking on, “Early Years of Life as an Opportunity to Socialize Children About Pain.” Next, Dr. Ayuko Igarashi, the Anesthesiologist in Chief at Miyagi Children’s in Japan, is speaking on “Pain in Children with Special Needs.” Dr. Rebecca Riddell, who serves as the Research Chair at York University and a world-renowned researcher at the OUCH lab, will be discussing their findings on “AI in Assessing Infant Pain in the NICU.”
Our second session, “What’s Hot” provides a spectrum of trending topics in current events and pediatric pain management. Dr. Rita Agarwal, a pediatric anesthesiologist and pain medicine physician, will be discussing “Perioperative Considerations in Pediatric Patients with Substance Use Disorder.” We will follow with a talk on “Adjuvants in Severe Burn Injury in Children” by Dr. Teddy Fabila of Singapore and “Regional Anesthesia in Neonates and Congenital Anomalies” by Dr. Vrushali Ponde of India. We are delighted to host these two instrumental members of the Asian Society of Paediatric Anaesthesiologists. Last, but not certainty not least, we will close our speaker sessions with YouTube Pain sensation (no pun intended) Dr. Andrea Furlan. Brazilian-born Dr. Furlan is a PM&R trained chronic pain physician, researcher, and author from Canada who will speak on “Nociplastic Pain and Somatic Tracking.”

SCOPE AND TYPE OF ACTIVITIES
The program brings together experts from clinical and basic science disciplines related to pediatric medicine, anesthesiology, pain medicine, palliative care, bioethics and neurobiology. General topic areas include neurobiology, pathophysiology, pharmacology, regional anesthesia, anesthesia, surgery, patient safety, database resources, and risk assessment for abuse and addiction prevention.
Sessions provide a wealth of information and advances in the field of pain medicine. Significant attendee involvement and feedback are encouraged in all aspects of the program. Program content is, in fact, the direct result of membership input and extensive audience polling at prior meetings.
