We are seeking motivated and dedicated individuals to join the
Department of Anesthesia as a regional anesthesia & acute pain fellow. Our
fellowship offers the opportunity to develop skills in peripheral and central
neural blockade in the context of modern, integrated multimodal pain
management, working and learning in a supportive and well-equipped environment.
The fellow will be exposed to single-shot blocks, indwelling catheter
techniques, ultrasound and traditional approaches. Our regional anesthesia
& acute pain fellowship offers you many opportunities to develop skills in
clinical care, judgment, teaching and research.
The successful candidate will be based primarily in the Block Room, where more
than 3500 regional anesthesia procedures are done per year, at the Halifax
Infirmary site of the QEII Health Sciences Centre, but will also have the
opportunity to work with the Acute Pain Service and the Chronic Pain Service at
the Victoria General site. In addition to spending two out of five days
per week in the Block Room, the fellow will provide anesthesia care in such
related areas as orthopedic, plastic and vascular surgery. The program
allocates two day per week non-clinical time and provides mentors for clinical,
education and research goals and projects. The fellow will actively participate
in departmental teaching activities and will be encouraged to attend academic
conferences to further develop skills.
