Fellowships The Division of Pain Medicine offers one and two year fellowships with the goal of producing physicians who will not only be technically skilled in interventional pain management, but will become leaders in the field. Training will emphasize the ability to analyze and manage clinical and research problems, and to arrive at innovative and practical solutions. Fellows clinical time will be divided amongst the inpatient and outpatient pain consultation services. Clinical and basic science research is an integral part of the fellowship. Research is performed utilizing the extensive research resources of the Johns Hopkins Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine laboratories.
Fellows can expect support in the form of supervision, equipment and supplies.
Current division research includes mechanisms of pain, pharmacology of pain therapy, outcomes and cost effectiveness of therapeutic options. Fellows are expected to participate in the educational functions of the division, which includes teaching medical students and residents. The pain management fellowship, most importantly, is tailored to the career goals of each individual.
