University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston/M D Anderson Cancer Center Program
About This Program
Our program takes care of complex patients with malignancy associated pain and non-malignant pain. In doing so, our fellows become experts in the management of pain pathologies using pharmacologic modalities and a wide range of procedural interventions. Additionally, our team desires to prepare fellows for life after training by providing a Transition to Practice Block, dedicated to topics surrounding contract negotiation, academics vs. private practice, and financial planning.
