Pain Medicine Fellowship
We are committed to providing each fellow with the highest quality experience and education through our ACGME-accredited fellowship with both faculty expertise and a diversity of training experiences.
Our fellowship trains and mentors future pain management physicians to excel both clinically and in the fields of education and research. We offer a broad-based clinical experience that includes such environments as:
- Acute pain
- Chronic pain
- Cancer pain
- Interventional procedures
- Multidisciplinary pain medicine
- Neurology/Neurosurgery rotation
We offer three positions each year. Clinical training takes place through UNMC's primary clinical partner, Nebraska Medicine, whose large clinical volume provides our fellows with abundant experience and personalized training.
Fellows participate in pain training that varies depending on their level of expertise as soon as they begin training. Our fellows exceed the minimal requirements of pain procedures established for sub-certification in Pain Medicine from the American Board of Anesthesiology.
Pain Medicine fellows participate in didactic lectures and conferences while on each rotation. A formal journal club and a bimonthly conference in multidisciplinary quality improvement are required, as well as weekly conferences of fellow reading and journal club and multidisciplinary research conference. Fellows also take part in cadaver labs each year, as available, and a learning project involving a Grand Rounds presentation or other acceptable project.
