News and Past Events
Dear Pediatric SIG Members,
As you know, the submission deadline for symposia proposals is October 15, 2025 (11:59 PM ET). We would love to see the Pediatric SIG’s expertise and collaboration represented at the 2026 USASP Annual Scientific Meeting in Philadelphia (March
24–26, 2026).
This is a great opportunity to highlight the important advances in pediatric pain research, clinical practice, and translational science. We strongly encourage members of the Pediatric SIG to come together to submit one or more symposia proposals that showcase the breadth and depth of our field.
This is an excellent chance for our SIG to lead a session that emphasizes the impact of pediatric perspectives on pain science and practice.
Please consider collaborating with colleagues to develop a submission. The full guidelines and submission portal can be found here.
Thank you for your contributions and commitment to advancing pediatric pain research and care. We look forward to seeing your ideas represented in Philadelphia!
Sincerely
Shreela Palit
