WashU Medicine in St. Louis, MO - Pain Medicine
Train here, thrive anywhere.®
Our clinical practice encompasses comprehensive training in both acute and chronic pain management. Trainees will master advanced techniques in postoperative and post-trauma pain relief, including nerve blocks and pharmacological strategies. Through hands-on experience with fluoroscopic and ultrasound-guided procedures, our fellows become adept in the latest interventional pain techniques, enhancing their surgical skills for a broad range of therapeutic interventions. The fellows will have opportunities to develop surgical skills including trial and permanent placement of dorsal column SCS, DRG and peripheral stimulator, MILD, VTP, Vertiflex, and intrathecal pump. We support a multidisciplinary approach, incorporating the expertise of pain psychologists, physical therapists, palliative care specialists, and neurologists. Our treatment modalities span from acupuncture to advanced interventional techniques, ensuring a well-rounded clinical education. The importance of didactic learning is underscored through weekly pain conferences, lectures, case-based learning, and journal clubs. Fellows enhance their knowledge and presentation skills, contributing to the rich educational fabric of our program. Monthly cadaver labs and participation in patient safety initiatives further enrich our fellows’ learning experiences.
