The Women in Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine (WRAPM) SIG was created to encourage recruitment and promote the contributions of women in regional anesthesiology and pain medicine; to provide networking opportunities and professional development support for women in pursuit of ASRA Pain Medicine’s mission; and to recognize the achievements of women to the field and understand the unique challenges that face women in the profession.

This section provides a recommended reading list of journal articles for the WRAPM SIG. While this repository may not include every landmark publication, we hope it provides a list of newer, pertinent articles that our members can review to build a more solid understanding of topics related to diversity in the pain profession.

Please send your article suggestions to our SIG leadership team at WRAPM_SIG@asra.com.
