The successful applicant will have an MD or equivalent and will have passed the Anesthesiology specialty exams or in the process of examinations by the American Board of Anesthesiology. Candidates must have completed a core residency program with at least one year of clinical training from an ACGME accredited program.

The majority of the fellowship year will be spent at Mass General on the Acute Pain Service, which has more than 8,000 patient encounters per year and on the Regional Anesthesia Service which performs more than 1,900 blocks per year. Fellows will be able to utilize neuraxial techniques in the operating rooms, where approxiamately 35 procedures are performed each week.

Fellows will be exposed to a wide variety of blocks for regional pain and acute pain management including single-shot and peripheral and central neural blocks, continuous catheter techniques, ultrasound and fluoroscopy guidance, as well as other innovative approaches to perioperative pain management.

In addition, fellows will also participate in a month-long rotation at Children's Hospital to refine their knowledge and skills in perioperative pain management and regional anesthesia care of pediatric patients.

Graduates of the program are expected to become highly skilled in regional and acute pain management from basic to the most challenging interventions.

Interested applicants should submit the following: letter of intent, curriculum vitae, official record(s) of Board scores (NBME, FLEX, USMLE), letter of recommendation from anesthesiology residency program director, and two additional letters of recommendation from faculty members.
