8th Annual Interventional Pain Management Fellows Course

Friday, November 12, 2021, 7:00 AM - Saturday, November 13, 2021, 3:00 PM, Seattle Science Foundation | 550 17th Ave #600

The Interventional Pain Management Fellows Course is designed to bring  together interventional pain management and interventional spine fellows-in-training to advance interventional procedures.

This interventional training course is for fellows from Interventional Spine, Interventional Pain Management and many other interventional Fellowship programs. Sessions with nationally recognized speakers will focus on the latest topics and in-depth debates with time to discuss contemporary issues.   

The course covers the latest advances in in spine intervention to include nearly all of the latest in minimally invasive treatments of the spine. The main objective of the course is to bring interventional pain management, interventional spine, and other fellows in training who specialize in minimally invasive treatments together to advance the specialty of percutaneous intervention. We will cover the differential diagnosis of spine pain, lumbar and cervical spinal anatomy, the pathophysiology of facet-mediated pain, the latest radiofrequency techniques for spine and joints, indications for spinal cord stimulation, cervical and lumbar spinal cord stimulation trial techniques, spinal cord stimulation implantation, peripheral nerve stimulation, indirect lumbar decompression, and numerous other techniques that will improve our physician’s armamentarium in treating patients with pain.

The conference incorporates hands-on cadaveric training in the Seattle Science Foundation BioSkills lab, and case-based teaching that emphasizes faculty/fellow interactions. The conversion of any fellowship to practice often can be challenging. It is our hope that this course will provide a useful starting point for this important phase of training.
