Anaesthesia and Pain management - Fellowship

This is a programme of specialised postgraduate training for clinicians which will enable the graduate of such a programme to properly asses and manage patients with acute & chronic pain of all types and to understand the sciences basic to the practice of pain management. We have been conducting 6 months fellowship from 2016. We take two fellows eery year one in January and another in July. They participate in all activities of outpatient, inpatient and interventions area along with other scientific activities. They will be exposed to interventions in both acute and chronic pain. We have excellent manikins to train the fellows in interventions for to help in SonoAnatomy & Fluoroscopy options. They have to maintain a logbook, which they submit at the end of their training. The programme is widely acclaimed all over the world including World Federation of Societies of Anaesthesiologists.

So far, we have trained 7 candidates in fellowship in pain management programme from 2016. Candidates are selected by World Federation of Anaesthesiologists by going through their applications, credentials & need. We had candidates from Nepal, Zimbabwe, Mongolia, Egypt, Bangladesh, Tanzania, Ethiopia and other countries. The programme has helped the candidates gain immense knowledge in both theory and practical which they are able to implement in their own countries to help the public in general. These are some of the features about our centre and the facilities offered. Once again, we would like to express that we are happy to share this information & looking forward for further interaction. We are confident that the trainees will have a memorable experience of academic excellence.
