Why Become a Member?
Becoming a member connects you directly with researchers, clinicians and other professionals working to advance understanding, diagnosis and treatment of interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS). For healthcare professionals and researchers, it means staying close to the latest scientific developments, exchanging knowledge with peers across the field, and contributing to the ongoing work of the society.
For patients, membership offers something equally valuable: access to reliable, up-to-date information on IC/BPS, insight into new research and discoveries as they emerge, and connection with a community that truly understands what living with this condition feels like — because they have experienced it too.
Whatever your role in this field, joining ESSIC means being part of a network that never stops learning, sharing and supporting one another.
