Fellows are expected and actively encouraged to participate in ongoing research projects. All members of regional anesthesia team are academically oriented and publish several articles in major anesthesia journals yearly. A number of abstracts are also presented at national meetings each year. Thus, our fellows can expect not only to master the desired regional anesthesia and peripheral nerve block techniques, but also to get a first-hand experience on how to design, conduct, present and publish scientific papers. The ratio of clinical versus academic activity is formally determined with each individual applicant and can be customized to best fit the fellows primary goals.

Another unique aspect of our regional anesthesia fellowship program is the exposure to regional anesthesia anatomy. Our fellows and residents interested in regional anesthesia, actively participate in anatomic dissections. This facilitates an in-depth understanding of principles behind various regional anesthesia techniques.
