The field of Interventional Spine, Pain and Musculoskeletal Medicine has evolved and gone through stages of metamorphosis over the last few decades. Our understanding of potential pain generators and ability to isolate sites of pain modulation allows us to practice targeted precision pain medicine and improve our patient’s quality of life and function.
Our fellowship program is unique in providing exposure to the entire continuum of care in Spine and Pain. This is a 12-month program that offers clinical and interventional care, teaching, research experiences, mentorship and leadership development. In addition to intensive clinical training in basic spine and pain procedures, fellows will be exposed to some of our advanced neuromodulation and cancer pain procedures. There is also an opportunity to get involved with our ongoing innovative research projects to advance the field of Interventional Spine and Pain. I am confident that our program will prepare and provide you with the tools to be successful in any practice setting.
Thank you for considering our fellowship program. We look forward to hearing from you, please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions.
Sincerely,
Hemant Kalia, MD, MPH, FIPP
