The Spine Center offers a one-year training program geared towards the development of outstanding clinical skills in evaluation, treatment and management of a broad variety of spinal disorders as well as other general musculoskeletal conditions. Clinical skills in the outpatient evaluation and examination of spinal pain through sound physical examination techniques and radiographic assessment are emphasized. Complementary, procedure - based, skills are provided and basic proficiency in spinal injections (lumbar epidural, selective nerve root block, lumbar and cervical facet block, etc.) is acquired.
Fellows are expected to be actively involved in a research and education project(s) and publication for successful completion. Approximately 50% of the fellow's time is spent in the outpatient clinic, 40% procedures/ spinal injections and 10% EMG clinic and research.
