Spring Pain Schedule
The Spring Pain Conference is an independent collection of scientists dedicated to open discussion of original, unpublished research. We include both basic and clinical researchers throughout academia and industry who strive to drive the field forward at all levels.
Short talks on cutting edge, unpublished basic science. Plus a poster session, data blitz, and social events!
The preconference event takes place before the APS 2019 Scientific Meeting. Preregistration is required. You can register for Spring Pain only by selecting “Precon Only” from the dropdown during the registration process.
$160 for APS Members
