International certification in ultrasound-guided pain interventions
Dr. Dasyam Pallavi holds the Certified Interventional Pain Sonologist (CIPS) credential awarded by the World Institute of Pain (WIP), USA.
CIPS is an international certification focused specifically on ultrasound-guided interventional pain procedures. It is not simply a course-completion certificate: the credential is awarded after successfully completing the World Institute of Pain’s structured examination process, which includes written, oral and practical, cadaver-based assessment.
The certification assesses a physician’s knowledge of the relevant anatomy and sonoanatomy, together with the practical application of ultrasound in interventional pain procedures. It is a specialised international credential held by a comparatively limited group of physicians who have completed the World Institute of Pain’s certification process.
What CIPS means for patients
Many modern pain procedures can be performed under real-time ultrasound guidance, which lets the physician see the relevant nerves, muscles, tendons, joints and surrounding structures while performing the intervention.
A CIPS-certified physician has undergone a dedicated international assessment in the use of ultrasound for interventional pain procedures. This is particularly relevant to procedures involving peripheral nerves, joints and musculoskeletal structures.
Fellowship in Pain Medicine
Dr. Pallavi is also a Fellow of the Indian Academy of Pain Medicine (FIAPM), reflecting dedicated training and professional development in the assessment and management of patients with acute and chronic pain conditions.
