WFUSM Comprehensive Pain and Spine Medicine Fellowship

The Wake Forest University School of Medicine Comprehensive Pain and Spine Medicine Fellowship is a 12-month, ACGME-accredited fellowship at Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The program trains physicians to become highly competent pain medicine specialists through broad exposure to acute, chronic, cancer-related, spine, musculoskeletal, neuropathic, headache, and facial pain conditions. Fellows rotate across multiple pain medicine centers in both academic and community settings and receive extensive training in interventional pain procedures, neuromodulation, minimally invasive spine procedures, inpatient pain consultation, multidisciplinary care, teaching, and research. The program accepts six fellows per year, with fellows coming from residency backgrounds including Anesthesiology, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Neurology, Child Neurology, and Emergency Medicine. The fellowship emphasizes hands-on procedural experience, mentorship, clinical excellence, and preparation for careers in academic or private practice pain medicine.
