The IPSIS Optimizing Your Pain Medicine Fellowship Candidacy

Watch the free Post Fellowship Guide webinar on securing the “right” contract and nailing that first critical year as an attending interventional pain medicine physician.

As this year’s residencies draw to a close, the Early Career Council will hold an IPSIS members-only free Q&A webinar designed to help you find and secure your optimal interventional pain medicine fellowship.

• How do residents best position themselves for North American Spine Society (NASS)-recognized Interventional Spine and Musculoskeletal Medicine (ISMM) fellowships?
• To what degree are participating in research, publishing papers, and presenting at conferences important to successful fellowship applications?
• What critical moves should you be making if applying this season, next season, in two years?
• How do successful fellows prepare for the interview cycle?
• How do you know which fellowship is right for you?
