Description

Our department of approximately 80 faculty includes 11 full-time regional-trained faculty with a representative expertise in many areas. Our RAAPM fellowship training has been in existence since 2009, and officially became ACGME accredited in 2020.  We offer 4 positions in RAAPM training: 2 ACGME-accredited fellowship positions and 2 clinical instructorships. Both tracks include dedicated, cutting-edge training in regional anesthesia, but they offer unique differences in operating room anesthesia management options and elective time.

Clinical experience within the one-year fellowship will include perioperative rotations focusing on RAAPM at our 32 operating room main hospital campus, our 12 operating room Outpatient Surgical Center, and our new stand-alone 6 operating room Orthopedic Center. Trainees will also integrate into Acute Pain Service (APS) which provides care for our medical and surgical patients within our 800-bed hospital. We also pride ourselves on offering fellow-level education in Point of Care Ultrasound techniques to achieve certification in this area. 

Our busy division performs more than 12,000 regional blocks and catheters annually for our patients, more than 2500 neuraxial techniques, and the APS fields more than 2100 consults. There is protected education time for weekly fellow level didactic lectures, and financial support for meetings and educational resources.
