Regional Anesthesiology & Acute Pain Medicine Fellowship

The ACGME-accredited Regional Anesthesiology & Acute Pain Medicine (RAAPM) Fellowship is a collaboration between two of the main teaching centers at McGaw Medical Center of Northwestern University: Northwestern Memorial Hospital (NMH) and Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago (LCH). During this 12-month fellowship, fellows become experts in the theory and practice of regional anesthesiology through the enthusiastic teaching and mentorship from our dedicated faculty, a robust clinical experience in adults and children, and an in-depth didactic program.
