The Cleveland Clinic is the best interventional pain program in the midwest, and is likely the most interventional program in the country. It is a busy program however, so if you want to loaf around, eat donuts and drink coffee this is not the program for you. You have to take 2 overnight calls a month, which includes covering 10 or so chronic patients and approximately 40 epidurals/peripheral nerve catheters.
We currently have 6 fellows and could really use 3 or 4 more. There are frequently procedures that go without fellows/residents because we don't have enough people to cover them. There are 10+staff so you get to learn different techniques and see more complications. There are world reknown staff such as M. Stanton-Hicks, N. Mekhail, S. Hayek, and L. Kapural who you work with every day.
Our experience includes virtually all modalities, with a heavy interest on neuromodulation and intradiscal therapies. the CC is a center for many current investigations such as neuromodulation for abdominal and visceral pain, IDET studies, Intradiscal RF studies, peripheral nerve(occipital) studies, and Dr. Stanton Hicks is doing work with peripheral nerve stims(sciatic nerve, femoral, ulnar, radial), and we participate in all of these.
They are hiring a psychologist full time for the clinic so maybe we can have more of the 'touchy-feely' stuff that this program lacks. I think it is a great addition because we don't have exposure to psych.
I'm from NYC and Cleveland is probably as boring as advertised. So if you want to party for a year I would recommend going to Chicago or New York.
