Regional Anesthesia Fellowship Program
Thank you for your interest in the Regional Anesthesia Fellowship at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. DHMC is a nationally-recognized medical center idyllically situated in the Upper Valley of New Hampshire. Patient care, research, and education are the long-standing traditions of DHMC. Underlying these traditions are our core values of respect, honesty, integrity, professionalism, and responsibility. Our vision of 21st-century medicine is rooted in over 200 years of service. Dartmouth Medical School was founded in 1797 and is the fourth-oldest medical school in the United States. Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital was founded in 1893 to serve regional needs. The Dartmouth-Hitchcock Clinic was founded in 1927 and is today the nation’s third largest group practice. The DHMC Anesthesiology Department consists of 35 OR anesthesiologists (over 45 total faculty including Pain Management, Critical Care, and Palliative Care), 24 residents, 8 fellows, and 23 CRNAs. Our clinical practice combines state-of-the-art care with clinical compassion. The Regional Anesthesia Fellowship is a one-year non-accredited program combining six months of regional block anesthesia training and six months as junior staff in the Department of Anesthesiology. When training in our regional anesthesia suite, the fellow will have no operating room responsibilities. As a junior staff member, the fellow’s responsibilities will include performing solo cases as well as supervising residents and CRNAs. The regional anesthesia suite is a dedicated unit located adjacent to the operating theatre. We have five fully-equipped nerve block rooms. We have the latest in high resolution ultrasound and nerve stimulator technology. The fellow will be responsible for performing and supervising both peripheral and neuraxial blocks. Currently, we are averaging over 150 peripheral nerve blocks per month. Our main area of research interest is the role of ultrasound in nerve localization and novel intrathecal catheters. The fellow will have the opportunity to participate in various ongoing clinical projects. Thank you for you your interest in our program, and we look forward to communicating with you in the coming weeks. | For More Information
