The Department of Anesthesiology at Mayo Clinic's campus in Phoenix/Scottsdale, Arizona, is a highly integrated, collaborative group of anesthesiologists. Members of the department also conduct basic and clinical research, and teach postgraduate and continuing education programs.
Mayo Clinic anesthesiologists in Phoenix and Scottsdale supervise more than 10,000 cases requiring anesthesia each year, assisted by skilled nurse anesthetists and state-of-the-art equipment. This large number of cases, integrated with ongoing research and education, results in wide-ranging expertise in the anesthetic management of patients.
The field of anesthesia changes continually with the introduction of new drugs, equipment, and surgical and radiological interventions. Department faculty members are organized into subspecialty groups, each focusing on a segment of anesthesiology. Their expertise is a resource for everyone, enabling the department to stay at the forefront of the specialty.
There are nine board-certified pain medicine physicians in the department's Division of Pain Medicine. Fellows in pain medicine always work under the direct supervision of one of the pain medicine faculty members.
The one-year, ACMGE-accredited Pain Medicine Fellowship program at Mayo Clinic's campus in Arizona provides a comprehensive training environment for fellows. As a fellow, you will work closely with numerous faculty members who have shown excellence in graduate medical education. Our faculty works closely with each fellow in order to tailor the program to your specific educational needs and career goals. Core faculty members are trained in anesthesiology, physical medicine and rehabilitation, and psychology.
There is a structured didactic curriculum that has been designed to create success for fellows in clinical practice and to ensure preparation for subspecialty board certification in pain medicine. The core of the program relies on staffing a diverse, interventional pain practice at Mayo Clinic in Arizona. In addition, rotations in private practice, cancer pain, palliative care, headache neurology, hospice, and pain rehabilitation add to the multidisciplinary education of our pain fellows.
A unique one-week anatomy course gives fellows an opportunity to learn and improve on the performance of advanced pain procedures and is one of the particular highlights of the program. There are also elective educational opportunities available in neuroradiology, EMG, and pediatric pain as well as Global Health activities that are funded through the Mayo International Health Program.
Fellows also participate in scholarly activity including quality improvement projects, submission of manuscripts to peer-reviewed journals, and presentations at national conferences. Fellows are an integral part of the education of anesthesiology residents and medical students. After successful completion of the Pain Medicine Fellowship, trainees will be highly qualified pain specialists who are ready for the demands of private practice or academics.
