The Pain Medicine Fellowship Program follows the requirements set forth by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education and the Residency Review Committee for Anesthesiology. Rotations include PM&R, neuroradiology, chronic pain clinic, acute pain service, cancer pain, hospice and a recently added private practice rotation. Fellows may also rotate to Mayo Clinic in Minnesota or Mayo Clinic in Florida.
Research Training
Your research opportunities at Mayo Clinic are outstanding. During the course of this fellowship, you have the opportunity to design and complete a research project under close mentorship from one of our clinician-researchers. The research project may be conducted according to your interests in pain-related fields such as psychiatry, physical medicine and rehabilitation, neurology or oncology.
Teaching Opportunities
Fellows have the opportunity to teach Mayo medical students, visiting students from other medical schools; and anesthesia residents.
Call Frequency
Mayo follows the recommendations of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) regarding call frequency.
Evaluation
To ensure acquisition of adequate knowledge and development of appropriate technical skills, your performance is monitored carefully during the course of training. Formal evaluation by supervising faculty members occurs quarterly, and each trainee is assigned a faculty adviser for the purpose of providing feedback. Fellows receive a written clinical competence evaluation by the Chair of the Clinical Competence Committee twice each year. In addition, trainees regularly evaluate rotations and faculty to ensure education needs are met and to provide feedback to the faculty to guide their efforts to improve the program.
