UC Davis Divisin f Pain Medicine Pain Fellwship Educatinal Gals and Objectives Understand the nature f pain and its treatment. Understand the mind bdy spectrum f pain and suffering. Understand cmmn barriers t treating pain. Understand the majr drug grups used t manage the different classes f pain. Understand the interventinal therapies used t treat different types f pain. Understand the full range f resuscitatin skills required fr safe prcedural practice. Understand the nn-pharmaclgical and nn-injectin appraches t pain management. Understand the special needs f the terminally ill patient wh is suffering. Understand the legal and regulatry issues that impact pain management. The missin f the UC Davis Pain Medicine Fellwship is t fully prepare future pain specialists fr the demands f practice in Pain Medicine. The fcus is in brad-based multidisciplinary knwledge and skills fr managing pain and suffering in all patients and mst patient settings. Our Fellwship is designed t help Fellws meet these gals, as well as t acquire the necessary skills t substantially cntribute t and advance the field. The UC Davis Pain Fellwship is cmmitted t excellence in clinical care, research, educatin, and advcacy fr thse in pain. The faculty is dedicated t training and educating the future leaders in Pain Medicine s that they can utilize the mst cmprehensive and innvative appraches t the evaluatin and management f acute, cancer-related, and chrnic nn-cancer pain. Teaching is a cre activity within the Fellwship as reflected in ur faculty maintaining ne f the mst didactically intensive Pain Fellwships in the US, ffering 9 frmal didactic sessins per week (30-60 minutes per sessin). Because the UC Davis Pain Fellwship has a lng histry f multidisciplinary leadership and has accepted bth Anesthesilgist and nn-anesthesilgist trainees, ur prgram is accustmed t prviding the cre educatinal elements frm the multiple medical disciplines essential t the practice f Pain Medicine and has lng been well-psitined t meet the newly adpted ACGME Pain Medicine requirements. Our Faculty ffers a remarkably brad representatin f the multiple disciplines within state-f-the-art pain and symptm management. These include Anesthesilgy (Drs. Cpenhaver, Furukawa, Kreis, Sheth, N. Singh), Internal Medicine (Drs. Fishman, MacMillan, McCarrn), Psychiatry (Drs. Fishman, McCarrn and Mskwitz), Physical Medicine and Rehabilitatin (Dr. Mahajan), Neurlgy (Drs. Grin and Lenaerts), Addictin Medicine (Dr. Kreis), Hspice & Palliative Medicine (Drs. Fishman and MacMillan), Acupuncture (Ian Kebner), Radilgy (Dr. Dublin), Public Health (Dr. Mskwitz), Psychlgy (TBA), Pharmaclgy (Dr. Hltsman), Law and Biethics (Dr. Rich), Physical Therapy (Tim McGnigle and Michael Mre), and Mindfulness Based Stress Reductin (Dennis Warren). The clinical prgram integrates utpatient and inpatient settings, ffering a brad array f diagnstic and therapeutic UC Davis Pain Fellwship Educatin Gals & Objectives Page 2
appraches, including pharmaclgical, surgical, psychlgical, rehabilitative, and alternative mdalities. The gal f imprving quality f life is infused thrughut the Fellwship s culture and is expressed thrugh clinical care, teaching, research, and advcacy. In additin t faculty teaching the Fellws and ther trainees, the Fellws are actively invlved in this prcess as well. Fellws supervise Residents and medical students rtating n the Pain service and are asked t take n the rle f junir faculty fr these trainees. Our Fellws are taught that a cmprehensive apprach t patient care wrks best in achieving tangible results.
