Clinical Foundations for Abdomino-Pelvic Pain Evaluation and Management Curriculum
August 4th - December 6th, 2025
Virtual
Chronic pelvic pain is a significant global health issue. Access to high-quality, well-organized educational resources for healthcare professionals on the evaluation and management of chronic pelvic pain (CPP) remains limited. For years, the International Pelvic Pain Society's Clinical Foundations Course has served as a cornerstone for many healthcare professionals who assist patients suffering from CPP.
This asynchronous hybrid curriculum, designed with adult learning principles in mind, provides you with the essential tools to effectively evaluate and manage patients with these conditions. The curriculum is anchored in "clinical themes" derived from current and up-to-date clinical guidelines on CPP evaluation and management, as published by Castellanos et al. (Table 1).
By completing this course, you will not only enhance your knowledge and experience in CPP management but also fulfill one of the requirements for the Pelvic Pain Specialty Designation (PPSD). This course will also prepare you for the PPSD assessment, another crucial step towards this designation and has the potential of connecting you with potential mentors and supporters of your application.
Teaching/Learning Material & Activities
- 20 asynchronous videos in lecture format. See below for the topic of each video.
- Reading material: 2-3 references per lecture to prepare for each topic.

- 2 virtual sessions to discuss with faculty and solve questions (twice during the study period).
- Access to the IPPS Mentorship program.
- Online interactive case-based activity with all Faculty at the end of the curriculum.
