The Locoregional Anesthesia Fellowship at Ziekenhuis Oost-Limburg, supported by NYSORA, presents a remarkable opportunity for anesthesiologists to specialize in regional anesthesia and acute pain management. This fellowship provides comprehensive training with a focus on clinical excellence, research, and education. With over 10,000 procedures annually, fellows gain hands-on experience, primarily in orthopedic surgeries, but also in abdominal, gynecological, and thoracic surgeries. Procedures include a variety of regional anesthesia techniques such as upper and lower extremity blocks, fascial plane blocks, paravertebral blocks, TAP blocks, thoracic epidurals pectoralis, quadratus lumborum, and serratus plane blocks. The team consists of experts from various countries, and knowledge of English is mandatory, while Dutch language proficiency is preferred.

A defining feature of the fellowship is the opportunity to participate in NYSORA’s global educational mission—including hands-on involvement in international workshops, teaching at NYSORA boot camps, and collaboration with visiting clinicians from around the world. Fellows also receive individualized mentorship focused on clinical leadership, scholarly development, and career progression. Beyond clinical training, fellows may contribute to the creation of NYSORA’s leading textbooks, digital learning platforms, and mobile applications, gaining first-hand experience in medical education at a global scale. The program is supported by an exceptionally strong alumni network, spanning multiple generations of fellows who now lead regional anesthesia practices worldwide and actively carry forward NYSORA standards into new institutions and environments.
