The Latin American Map of Pain Education initiative has developed steadily in recent years. A recent survey yields important new data on the current state and allows outlining of the next steps to improve pain education in Latin American countries. A survey conducted by Federación Latinoamericana de Asociaciones para el Estudio del Dolor (FEDELAT) with data from 19 Latin American countries showed that a generally observed barrier is the lack of adequately trained pain professionals and the insufficient number of pain centers. There is a need for formal programs of pain education and palliative care in undergraduate and graduate programs. These programs should be accessible not only to physicians but to all types of healthcare professionals involved in the management of pain patients. The article includes some recommendations that will certainly be helpful in improving pain education over the next decade in Latin America.
近年来，拉丁美洲疼痛教育地图计划稳步发展。最近的一项调查得出了有关当前状况的重要新数据，并为概述拉丁美洲国家改善疼痛教育的后续步骤提供了依据。拉丁美洲疼痛研究协会联合会（FEDELAT）进行的一项涵盖19个拉丁美洲国家数据的调查显示，一个普遍存在的障碍是缺乏训练有素的疼痛专业人员以及疼痛中心数量不足。本科和研究生课程中需要有正式的疼痛教育和姑息治疗计划。这些计划不仅应该对医生开放，而且应该对参与疼痛患者管理的所有类型的医疗保健专业人员开放。本文包含一些建议，这些建议肯定会有助于在未来十年改善拉丁美洲的疼痛教育。
