ABOUT
The Department of Anesthesiology’s Regional Anesthesiology and Acute Pain Medicine (RAAPM) Fellowship earned ACGME accreditation in 2019. The one-year fellowship program is based out of UNMC and Nebraska Medicine, which is a large tertiary care center and level one trauma center. The fellow will gain expertise in a wide variety of cutting-edge regional and neuraxial techniques, along with other comprehensive acute pain management strategies.
The UNMC RAAPM Fellow can expect a robust clinical experience with the opportunity to both personally perform and assist in teaching residents various ultrasound-guided regional techniques. Currently, our residents perform nearly 400 peripheral nerve blocks upon graduation. The APS service, consisting of a staff anesthesiologist, one fellow, one or two residents, and two physician assistants, typically maintains a census of 20 to 30 inpatients for which we are the lead service with respect to pain management.
Our team supplements the clinical experience with a structured educational platform to help the fellow truly become an expert in this sub-specialty of anesthesiology. Additionally, suitable non-clinical time will be provided for academic endeavors associated with RAAPM.
