University of California, Davis (ACGME Accredited)

The University of California, Davis Medical Center (UCDMC) offers an accredited 12-month Regional Anesthesia and Acute Pain Medicine fellowship in Sacramento, California.  The fellowship will train the candidate to become an expert in regional anesthesia including the use of ultrasound guidance as well as the management of perioperative pain.  Our acute pain medicine service performs approximately 3,000 peripheral nerve blocks many with ultrasound guidance and catheter placement as well as many neuraxial blocks annually and has a busy and expanding inpatient pain service. 

Fellows will rotate in our main operating room perioperative area, a busy orthopedic focused outpatient surgery center, and the UC Davis Children’s Hospital operating rooms.  The fellow will perform single injection and continuous catheter techniques in the upper extremities, lower extremities, abdominal truncal region, and the posterior thorax.  The fellow will receive education and training in point of care ultrasound (POCUS) by experienced faculty.  The fellow will learn how to manage an acute pain medicine service, become familiar with pediatric regional anesthesia, and treat inpatient chronic pain patients.  To enhance the academic mission, fellows are expected to participate in a research project and will receive dedicated non-clinical days to work on scholarly projects.  There are 11 faculty members on the acute pain medicine service (APS) with substantial regional anesthesia experience and/or fellowship training.  This program offers an excellent training experience that can be tailored to meet your educational goals.
