Welcome!

Thank you for your interest in the Pain Medicine Fellowship Training Program at Southern Hills Hospital & Medical Center, a member of the HCA Healthcare Graduate Medical Education family, and VA Southern Nevada Health Care System.

HCA Graduate Medical Education is proud to be the first Pain Medicine fellowship training program in the history of Nevada!

This is an ACGME‐accredited 1‐year program sponsored by the Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Residency Program through HCA Healthcare/Sunrise Health Care Program. We recruit 2 fellows per year.

The fellows will be fully supported by the faculty and the excellent multidisciplinary team of pain physicians, painpharmacists, spine surgeons, osteopaths, chiropractors, and acupuncturists at Southern Hills Hospital and VA Southern Nevada. The trainees will be more than well prepared to face the challenges of professional life, whether they choose to practice in academia or a private practice setting.

Our faculty are experienced pain medicine physicians who are passionate about medical education and adept in using data driven methods to diagnose and treat the wide spectrum of painful conditions. They are diverse in their ethnic backgrounds and life experiences, having trained in highly rated programs, and are committed to investing in forging the next generation of pain management experts that care for a vibrant, diverse, and undeserved population.

Let's do it together!
