Deutscher Schmerzkongress 2019 in Mannheim

The German Pain Congress takes place every year in Mannheim. The congress is reserved for medical professionals and is a meeting place for all those whose specialties overlap with pain medicine. In addition to news, trends and current topics of the industry, it also offers a forum for collegial exchange in a pleasant atmosphere.

A get-together event will also take place as part of the accompanying programme of the congress in order to create a pleasant atmosphere to get to know each other and make new contacts. Diverse symposia and workshops as well as refresher courses will provide the content input. For the first time, the event experience will be rounded off by an exciting science slam.
