The Stony Brook Pain Fellowship, is a 12-month (August 1 - July 31), ACGME-accredited program that provides a comprehensive curriculum for training the next generation of leaders in Interventional Pain Medicine. Our mission is to provide future practitioners the knowledge and skills needed to practice compassionate independent pain medicine in either academic or private practice.
To incorporate a multi-modal approach to pain management, fellows will rotate with collaborating departments including Neurology, Psychiatry, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Anesthesiology, and Palliative Care.
After completion of training, fellows will be eligible to take the American Board of Anesthesiology Pain Medicine boards, provided they are currently board-certified in their respective specialty.
Weekly Teaching
Fellows have protected weekly teaching time throughout the year, regardless of their clinical responsibilities.
Every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday morning from 7:00 - 8:00 am, fellows will have weekly didactic sessions. A wide array of topics will be covered based ABA and ACGME objectives. Other topics during these days will be Journal Club, Board Review and Business Management.
During the other core rotations such as Neurology, Psychiatry, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Anesthesiology, and Palliative Care, the didactic schedule may differ.
Every Wednesday morning from 7:00 - 8:00 am there is Anesthesiology Grand Rounds, which fellows are invited to attend.
