The Pain in Infants, Children and Adolescents SIG is comprised of an interdisciplinary group focused on promoting advocacy, education, policies, programs, and research about pain in children. The SIG started as a working group charged with developing a policy statement on acute pain in children. This APS Task Force on Pain in Infants, Children, and Adolescents was chaired by Dr. Gary Walco who also became the first chairperson of the SIG. Other previous SIG chairs have included Drs. Jolene Bean-Lijewski, Steven Weisman, and Tonya Palermo. The SIG has been active in developing position statements, sharing research findings at APS annual meetings, holding pediatric pain education days, and serving on APS committees and task forces.
