Physicians applying for a fellowship program in regional anesthesiology/acute pain medicine must be currently enrolled in, or have completed, an accredited anesthesiology residency program. Each individual program may have additional requirements such as medical licensing. The information published here has been supplied by the individual institutions.

The non-ACGME approved Regional Anesthesiology Fellowship program at the University of Colorado Denver is a teaching, clinical, and research-oriented program for candidates who want to be experts in the field of Regional Anesthesiology and Acute Pain Management. The University of Colorado Hospital is a large tertiary center with a wide array of patient populations. Our fellows will become experts in the placement of peripheral nerve blocks, nerve block catheters, and thoracic and lumbar epidurals. In addition, they will gain experience managing both surgical and non-surgical pain syndromes in complex patients using regional techniques, multimodal analgesia, ketamine infusions and non-pharmacologic modalities. They will be heavily involved in clinical and didactic teaching of the residents and medical students rotating on service, including Journal Club, APS Anatomy Lab, and formal lectures. We also expect fellows to participate in ongoing research activities, development of ERAS pain protocols and quality improvement projects during their protected educational time.

Fellows are also part-time instructor-level faculty (40%) and are eligible for moonlighting opportunities. Our fellowship is congruent with the proposed ACGME guidelines, although we do not anticipate this being an ACGME-approved fellowship for the referenced academic year. All applicants must be eligible for an unlimited medical license through the Colorado Medical Board and be able to practice as a board-eligible/board-certified anesthesiologist. Applicants who are not U.S. citizens must be legally able to work in the U.S. or eligible to obtain authorization to work. J1 visas do not meet this requirement for non-GME training programs.

This program participates in the San Francisco Match. Submit the completed application directly to the individual Fellowship Program via the SF Match website.
