I am a 3rd year (almost 4th year) med student interested in a career in academic pain management, where I could dedicate part of my time to research, clinic, and resident/fellow education. I have a few questions and would appreciate any advice you all may have.
First, I am having a difficult time choosing between PM&R and Anesthesiology. I've got electives set up in both within the next few months, but wanted to know which would be better suited to my goals, or if it doesn't matter either way.
Second, what are the big name programs in pain research? I would really like to be productive during residency, but will probably need good mentorship. I'm not limited geographically, but ideally would like to stay in the greater Philadelphia area.
Really appreciate the help.
