Content helps viewers enhance skills and knowledge in pain management by covering key areas like: 

  • Neuromodulation 
  • Advanced surgical techniques 
  • Management of complications 
  • Patient selection and patient care 
  • The science behind spinal cord stimulation
  • Case-based scenarios
  • Professional development 
  • And more!

With around 10 hours of content across 28 videos, complemented by assessments to gauge progress, “Pain Rounds” stands as a pivotal resource for pain fellowships teaching tomorrow’s professionals.

The curriculum has been adopted by the majority of accredited pain fellowships nationally, disseminated through presentations at national meetings and institutional grand rounds, and showcased by national pain societies. The research surrounding the curriculum shows significant increases in neuromodulation knowledge as a result of the “Pain Rounds” intervention.

“Pain Rounds integrates the feedback of over 100 fellowship programs into a neatly packaged, neuromodulation curriculum. It is exactly the tool that we need to systematically ensure safety and comfort with advanced procedures. Fellowships vary in terms of exposure to neuromodulation therapies, but Pain Rounds levels the playing field! We are proud that our Cornell faculty helped create it and that our fellows have used it for several years and will continue to in the future.”

Dr. Neel Mehta, Chief of Pain, Weill Cornell Medicine

“As a pain fellow, I quickly realized the challenge of mastering a vast amount of information in a limited training period. Pain Rounds gave me a solid understanding of neuromodulation principles and techniques early on, building a strong foundation for the rest of my fellowship, and allowing me to enter attending life fully prepared. My experience echoes that of many colleagues and friends across the country who used Pain Rounds. And if you need more evidence about the value of Pain Rounds, check out the Pain Rounds publication in the journal RAPM!”

Dr. Tariq AlFarra, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai

“Very concise and comprehensive course on spinal cord stimulation, IT pumps and more. The content and quality of the lectures, along with the quality of the speakers, is truly outstanding. The speakers seamlessly made complex concepts very comprehensible. Their delivery was polished, with clear explanations and captivating visuals that enhanced understanding. Overall, it is great educational material to supplement the training curriculum during, and even after completion of medical training.”

Dr. Peju Adekoya , Johns Hopkins School of Medicine

“Having completed Pain Rounds as a fellow, I can state with confidence that it was an integral part of my development into a pain physician! It is a smart, engaging, and well-rounded approach to filling an important need in our subspecialty!”

Dr. Gerard Limerick, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine

“Thank you, Pain Rounds, for being an invaluable source of knowledge and support, while bringing all the experts to one place! This highly produced multimedia series is grand rounds meets late night. It makes learning complex concepts fun and surpasses any existing pain curriculum. Dr. Yesh Navalgund’s videos are my favorite, loaded with all kinds of troubleshooting tips and tricks that I still use in clinical practice! Pain Rounds has interactive features too – these help cement the new knowledge gains. I highly recommend Pain Rounds to anyone seeking comprehensive and user-friendly educational materials in neuromodulation.”

Dr. Vwaire Orhurhu , University of Pittsburgh Medical Center

“Pain Rounds for our fellows was a tremendous addition to their learning.  Interacting with gifted educators in Pain Medicine gave our fellows an opportunity to experience the ‘state-of the-art’ beyond their home institution, discuss the evidence in the field, and apply it to their own practice.”

Dr. Shane Brogan, Professor, University of Utah, Spencer Fox Eccles School of Medicine

“Pain Rounds was the single most valuable educational resource for me during my pain fellowship. It provides the most important and up-to-date information about neuromodulation from the nation’s leading experts. I consider Pain Rounds an essential resource for pain fellows and recommend it to all of the fellows with whom I work.”

Dr. Rebecca Donald, Vanderbilt University School of Medicine

“As a fellow, I had always felt there was an educational void when it came to didactics in advanced spine procedures.  And then came Pain Rounds – the structured curriculum we desperately needed. Pain Rounds was instrumental in giving me the foundation and background that I needed to get more comfortable with neuromodulation procedures and surgical skills. The format of the series was easily digestible and strategically organized. I have never seen this in any other pain didactic series to date. I would go as far as calling it a must for any pain medicine fellow.”

Dr. Ketan Chopra, Henry Ford Medical Center

“As a Fellowship Director, I find Pain Rounds to be critical to training. Pain Rounds bridges educational gaps and allows all trainees to have access to the experts, regardless of what program they are at, creating equity in the educational experiences of trainees.  Dr. D identified a critical need and created a solution.  I highly recommend this program.”

Dr. Kara Segna, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine

“Pain Rounds significantly enhanced my fellowship education in neuromodulation. The lectures were highly engaging, and the practical components were extremely thorough and well-taught. Pain Rounds is a must-have for all training programs, and highly recommended for anyone interested in building a strong foundation in neuromodulation.”

Dr. Jay Karri, University of Maryland

“During my pain fellowship, I eagerly subscribed to Pain Rounds. I must say that I cannot recommend this course highly enough and ended up reviewing all the videos several times. From the detailed cadaver videos that provided invaluable insights to the crucial surgical tips that elevated my surgical practice to the intellectual discussions from world-renowned experts, every aspect was meticulously designed. The embedded board-style questions challenged me and ensured that I was constantly testing and reinforcing my understanding. This proactive approach to learning both prepared me for the challenges of fellowship and equipped me to confidently ace my board exams… It’s a game-changer that will undoubtedly propel your career forward in the field of pain management.”
