Course Instructors

Course Instructors

IPSIS instructors are physician volunteers dedicated to teaching safe and effective diagnostic and therapeutic interventional pain procedures. Before being allowed to teach, instructors are rigorously vetted by:

  • Passing a written test
  • Providing images and procedure notes for review
  • Completing a hands-on cadaver demonstration/examination

IPSIS invests in instructors by funding hands-on instructor academies and providing with regular feedback from experienced course directors.

Learn more about how you can become an IPSIS instructor. Review the Lumbar Instructor Exam Policy, then email instructor@IPSISmed.org to begin the process.
