I also agree about virgina mason.
Regional is fun and I enjoy doing it as much as possible. With that being said, I wouldn't put too much emphasis on it as far as doing a fellowship. When I got out of training I had done every type of block at least ONCE,yeah once. I knew how to do all the blocks but it wasn't until private practice that I became very proficient at them. Alot of practices don't even do it b/c of time constraints. Some surgeons don't want them. So unless you already know where you will be practicing post residency, you may be wasting your time. Then again maybe not.

Im considering doing academic clinical research with regional anesthesia (I know I havent even matched yet, just something thats intriguing), analyzing outcomes, etc. Obviously to do a good study, you need good numbers and a quality program. Ive heard great things about the VM program, like everyone else, and I know that Hopkins sends their people to HSS for a month, and I know someone who is doing a fellowship at St. Luke's.
Just a thought I had. Didnt know if anyone had any experience with academic regional anesthesia programs.

I guess I'm kinda an elder here. Kinda sad since my squat intimidates most 20 year old college athletes.
