I'm interested in an Interventional Pain Medicine fellowship.

1. Can anyone clarify the advantage of an ACGME-accredited program over a non-accredited one? I believe you can sit for the Pain Boards after completing either.

2. Does anyone have info on the Case Western fellowship? Is it a strong program with good didactics as well as procedure volume and variety?

3. Any info on programs in mid-Atlantic region (Virginia, West Virginia, Tenn, Kentucky, North Carolina)?

4. Does anyone know about any Interventional Pain fellowship opportunities in the military and how they rate compared to civilian ones?

5. What's a good review/text book that goes through the different procedures specifically step by step?

thanks, [email protected]
