Interventional Spine/Pain Medicine Fellowship

A 12-month clinical fellowship in non-operative spine care and interventional pain medicine, including fluoroscopic and ultrasound-guided procedures, spinal cord stimulation and electrodiagnostics.

Program Overview

This 12-month clinical fellowship primarily focuses on non-operative spine care and interventional pain medicine. The fellow collaborates with physicians who have completed fellowships and are actively practicing within a large, highly active, multidisciplinary group in Phoenix, Arizona. Proficiency in various interventional spine procedures is a key aspect, encompassing lumbar/thoracic/cervical epidural steroid injections, facet joint injections, medial branch blocks and radiofrequency neurotomy, sympathetic blocks, peripheral joint and nerve injections, spinal cord stimulator trials, dorsal root ganglion stimulator trials, spinal cord stimulator implants, disc stimulation procedures, and kyphoplasty.

The fellowship includes comprehensive training in medication management, fluoroscopic and ultrasound-guided injections, and electrodiagnostics. Fellows will also have the opportunity for elective rotations in orthopedic spine surgery and neuroradiology. The program offers a multitude of research opportunities. Successful completion of the fellowship makes fellows eligible to seek board certification through the American Board of Pain Medicine.
