As a regional anesthesia and acute pain fellow, you will work and learn in a supportive and well-equipped environment, developing skills in peripheral and central neural blockade in the context of modern, integrated multimodal pain management. You will have many opportunities to develop skills in clinical care, judgment, teaching and research.
You will also gain experience in:
Single-shot blocks;
Indwelling catheter techniques; and
Ultrasound and traditional approaches.
You will be based primarily in the dedicated block room at the Halifax Infirmary (HI) site of the QEII Health Sciences Centre, and will also work with the Acute Pain Service. In addition to spending three out of five days per week in the block room, you will provide anesthesia care in such related areas as orthopaedic, plastic and vascular surgery.
As part of your fellowship, you will design, initiate and perform at least one research project with the goal of publication and/or presentation at a recognized anesthesia or regional anesthesia meeting. To support this work, we allocate non-clinical time and provide mentors for clinical, education and research goals and projects. You will also participate in departmental teaching activities and will be encouraged to attend academic conferences to further develop your skills.
