Program overview
Medical practitioners interested in diagnosis and treatment of chronic pain diseases can pursue a clinically oriented Fellowship at MGA Medical Global Academy. This sophisticated fellowship will provide a balance of theory and clinical exposure to help to build expertise in the latest advances in pain management and minimally invasive interventional procedures. The program emphasises a multidisciplinary management approach to pain management that includes clinical assessment, imaging, pharmacotherapy and advanced interventional techniques. The practical training involves procedures like epidural steroid injections, nerve blocks, radiofrequency ablation, spinal cord stimulation, vertebroplasty, kyphoplasty, ultrasound guided procedures and minimally invasive spine procedures. Other areas of fellowship include pain management in neurological disorders, cancer pain, pelvic pain syndromes, regenerative medicine, neuromodulation therapies and pain management in special populations. The curriculum is based on contemporary healthcare concerns and aims to enhance patients’ outcomes, functional recovery, and quality of life for those with acute and chronic pain disorders.
