Case Western Reserve University/University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center Program
About This Program
Our program gives fellows excellent training in pain medicine at a major hospital system. Fellows experience a wide variety of cases as they work in clinic and procedures at our regional hospital sites, as well as our main hospital campus. The interdisciplinary nature of pain medicine is strengthened through rotations in psychiatry, cancer and palliative care, neurosurgery, and more.
