: The 2018 Global Year for Excellence in Pain Education, an initiative of the International Association for the Study of Pain, brought worldwide attention to the need for education that crosses narrow disciplinary boundaries, addresses up-to-date research methods and findings, and encourages teamwork among trainees and mentors at different levels of training and with different perspectives. : This commentary describes the development of Pain in Child Health (PICH), an interdisciplinary training program for researchers in pediatric pain at the undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral levels of training. : Based on documentation of the structure, training processes, leadership, and membership of PICH, we outline its organization and its challenges and accomplishments over the first 12 years of its growth into a well-known international program. : Pain in Child Health began as a Strategic Training Initiative of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research in 2002 and developed into an international research training consortium featuring cross-site and cross-discipline mentorship and collaboration. PICH trainees and alumni have contributed extensively to the current scientific literature on children's pain. PICH could serve as a possible model for training and mentorship in other specialized health research domains within and outside thestudy of pain.
国际疼痛研究协会发起的“2018全球疼痛教育卓越年”活动，使全球关注到跨越狭隘学科界限、涵盖最新研究方法与成果以及鼓励不同培训层次和不同视角的学员与导师之间开展团队合作的教育需求。本评论描述了儿童健康疼痛研究（PICH）项目的发展情况，这是一个针对本科、研究生和博士后阶段的儿科疼痛研究人员的跨学科培训项目。基于对PICH的结构、培训过程、领导层和成员的记录，我们概述了其组织架构以及在发展成为一个知名国际项目的头12年里所面临的挑战和取得的成就。儿童健康疼痛研究项目始于2002年加拿大卫生研究院的一项战略培训倡议，并发展成为一个具有跨站点和跨学科指导与合作特色的国际研究培训联盟。PICH的学员和校友为当前有关儿童疼痛的科学文献做出了广泛贡献。PICH可以作为疼痛研究领域内外其他专业健康研究领域培训和指导的一个可能范例。
