About the Program
We train one new fellow each year; each fellowship begins in July. Our twelve-month program includes individual didactic sessions, case conferences and direct outpatient care. Fellows are constantly challenged and encouraged to enhance their competency in patient care skills, medical knowledge, interpersonal skills, professionalism, practice-based learning and systems-based practice. Fellows are taught many cutting-edge procedures, such as Superion, Intracept and Iovera®—procedures only performed by a handful of physicians nationally. We are not offering ACGME-accredited positions.
