San Diego Pain Summit Scholarships

Pain management education and research can be a costly expense and these scholarships* are to help ease financial burdens. Donors can choose where they want their funds allocated.

These are for two types of scholarship recipients:

  1. Clinicians and healthcare practitioners (includes manual/movement/yoga)

  2. People living with pain and non-professional caregivers who are not in a clinical or healthcare profession

There are two types of scholarships:

Live Stream 2024 - funded by the San Diego Pain Summit

In person conference - does not include dinner party, lodging, travel, or food

*Note: The San Diego Pain Summit is a for-profit company as I am unable to afford the paperwork to apply for tax exempt status. Your donation is not a tax write off but you will receive a receipt for your donation.
