Overview

The postgraduate course in algology is an interuniversity programme run by seven Belgian universities and trains physicians to control pain in its widest sense. Participants gain the scientific knowledge, skills and attitudes needed to care for patients with complex pain. The advanced studies are delivered in centralised course weeks, so students do not follow weekend sessions across the year. Participants complete two clinical internships of 1.5 months each in a recognised pain centre, and attend congresses, courses and workshops, earning 40 accreditation points over two academic years. The award is a postgraduate certificate in algology.
