The Pain Fellowship year is a clinical year with approximately 50% of time dedicated to the Pain Service and 50% of the time to anesthesia coverage of other services, including obstetrics in the hospital. The Pain Clinical Services consist of one-week-long rotations supervising a multi-disciplinary acute pain service, two days per week of Chronic Pain Service Interventional Work and one day per week of Chronic Pain Clinic.
The non-pain clinical time is spent rotating through the different surgical subspecialties in the operating room, including vascular surgery, neurosurgery, ENT, general surgery, and orthopedics. We also have a busy obstetrical practice as well as a Preoperative Assessment Facility where we provide preoperative consultation services. There is an opportunity to become involved in our ongoing pain research projects as part of the academic program.
