The University of Montpellier is a leading professional body in medicine, worldwide.

An MOU has been signed between the Multidisciplinary Society of Muscaloskeletal Pain (Korea) and the University of Montpellier (France) for the international diploma in the interventional pain medicine.

Pain Management requires specific knowledge and skills,
either in acute and chronic conditions.

Several medical specialties are specifically involved in pain management such as anesthesiologists, neurologists, physiatrists, and neurosurgeons, however, their training is not tailored towards pain management and there is an increasing need for more specialized educational programs.

This program will be based on current guidelines and programs from international societies of pain medicine for pain management training.
