Regional Anesthesia Fellowship
Overview and Goals
Regional Anesthesia fellows will spend 2 weeks every month on Regional Anesthesia and the Acute Pain Medicine service to develop the technical skills to gain proficiency in basic and advanced regional blocks in the perioperative period. Upon completion of the fellowship, the fellow will be able to serve as a consultant for other physicians interested in regional anesthesia and provide optimal perioperative pain control for their patients.

Rotations and Schedules
Fellows alternate 2 weeks at a time on adult regional anesthesia and the acute pain service along with practicing as an attending anesthesiologist within the Department of Anesthesia, Critical Care and Pain Medicine at the Beth Israel Deaconess Center. We have opportunities for fellows to rotate through the community hospitals in the Beth Israel Lahey Health system for a private practice experience in regional anesthesia. There is a short rotation available at Boston Children's Hospital.
Curriculum and Didactics
One of the big advantages of our program is that we can tailor it for your individual success. As a fellow you will be expected to attend weekly departmental grand rounds, give didactic lectures to residents, and conduct a monthly Journal Club covering pertinent acute pain medicine and regional anesthesia topics.
Research and Other Opportunities
Every fellow is expected to complete at least one Quality and Safety or one Research project during the year. Fellows are encouraged to come up with a project congruent with their interests, but usually, a choice of at least three different projects is also provided. For more information on our Departments' Research, please see their websites.
