The program will provide you with extensive experience in the medical management of pain, peripheral nerve blocks, trigger point injections, epidural injections, radiofrequency lesioning, continuous epidural infusions, peripheral nerve blocks, intrathecal drug delivery systems and spinal cord stimulation.

In addition, further clinical training in pain-related fields such as psychiatry, physical medicine and rehabilitation, neurology or oncology is available.
