About the Program

Our fellowship blends formal and informal didactics with full spectrum procedural exposure and hands-on instruction.  Procedural training is comprehensive and surgical, with a focus on cutting-edge interventional techniques including Neuromodulation, Peripheral Nerve Stimulation, Intrathecal Drug Delivery, Kyphoplasty and other minimally invasive surgical spine procedures. Our fellows graduate prepared to excel in any practice setting. 

Our fellowship is truly multidisciplinary. Fellows rotate with Neurology, Neurosurgery, Pain Psychology, Anesthesiology, Palliative Care and Integrative medicine- among others- where they learn the latest complementary and alternative therapies for acute and chronic pain.

Trainees have abundant opportunity to participate in research by collaborating with faculty members.
