1. I'm interested in an Interventional Pain Medicine fellowship. Can anyone clarify the advantage of an ACGME-accredited program over a non-accredited one? When I spoke to Pain attendings, inluding one who graduated last year from Cleveleand Clinic program, they didnt give any ideas why to chose one over the other. 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 programs in mid-Atlantic region (Virginia, West Virginia, Tenn, Kentucky, North Carolina) that anyone has further insights on?

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

thanks, [email protected]
