It would be nice if we could throw together a more expansive review of programs for future fellowship applicants based on our experiences from interviews with hopefully added comments from current and recent fellows from the specific programs.

Have not heard anything from these programs. I know Michigan has a lot of internal candidates.

I think exposure is the first step to developing interests and career goals. It's hard to know if you like doing a procedure if you're not exposed to it.

Unrelated to interview invites, but i'd like to survey the group and get a list of procedures we should be asking exposure-wise about during interviews. Bread and Butter: Cancer Pain Procedures: Neuropathic Pain Procedures: Innovative Procedures: Other:

So researching fellowships, I hear about some programs doing "cutting edge procedures." Could someone provide a list of the following... Bread and Butter Procedures: Innovative Procedures: Cancer Pain Procedures:

I think this would be very helpful for future applicants. I'm obviously on board.

Does anyone have any insight into the Peds Pain Fellowships? I believe there are two - Cinci and Colorado. I understand that they are accredited as Pain Fellowships and you can sit for the pain boards after these fellowships, but i wonder how they are in terms of procedural numbers.

I like that idea as well, I plan to add any additional interviews to each thread to keep this thread updated and also give other PM&R residents currently applying or applying in years to come a benchmark
