I just heard about this. (http://www.wfubmc.edu/Neurology/Neurorehabilitation-Fellowship-Program.htm)
From attached PDF sent to residents - "We at Wake Forest offer a one year fellowship in neurorehabilitation. This fellowship offers an in depth experience in inpatient rehabilitation as well as consults, outpatient follow up clinics and INTERVENTIONAL PAIN INJECTION TECHNIQUES. "
"We are offering this fellowship to anyone who has completed an approved residency in Neurology, IM or FM"
Unfortunately the program director is H.Michael Guo, MD, PhD (http://www.wfubmc.edu/Faculty/Guo-Hongtao-Michael.htm) who happens to be one of us.
Does anyone find this shocking? How do they expect someone to learn all that in one year? I am just dumbfounded that I might have to compete with someone who did a 1 year "PM&R" fellowship while I spent 4 years in PM&R residency seeing hundreds of patients with various impairments, doing hundreds of injections and EMGs.
Something has to be done about this to protect our career. What would the reaction be if someone created a 1 year interventional cardiology fellowship open for PM&R residents which will "allow a practioner the chance to increase their earning potential". Shocking.
