Any word on UCSF's program? Or Northwestern?

Not sure, but apparently UCSF does not review applications from neurologists.

For future reference, other pseudo-multidisciplinary fellowships that don't bother to consider neurologists:

1) UCSF
2) Mayo Scottsdale
3) Tufts

I'm sure there are several more. It just amazes me this day in age despite changes in ACGME program requirements, etc.

My understanding from the interview trail is that yes ACGME requires a multidisciplinary approach, but doesn't require residents to be from many different specialities.

Look, in Canada for example ALL pain docs are anesthesiologists. So I suppose it could be worse.

Okay. I guess one should be satisfied with that. Also on the interview trail, a fellowship program director stated that in the very near future, each fellowship program will be required to have a pain-boarded anesthesiologist, physiatrist, neurologist and psychiatrist. Not sure how that will happen without training more neurologists and psychiatrists. Given the trend, it will be clear which programs are more progressive, and which ones aren't.

UCSF - I was told point blank that they only consider Anesthesiology residents. And there are many other programs who are the same way.

On the bright side, there are many programs this year that have become more progressive and are interviewing candidates from different specialties. I'm really quite surprised and happy.
