The Ochsner Pain Medicine Fellowship’s aim is to provide the next generation of Pain Medicine physicians with exceptional clinical and procedural experience, and knowledge. Our fellows will become a consultant in pain management who are able to work with a multidisciplinary team to manage acute and chronic pain patients, including cancer pain, in both the outpatient and inpatient settings. Enhancing communication skills as a team and with patient care (clinic and procedure) is a key component to performance as well.
