Scott & White Healthcare offers new fellowship with multi-disciplinary approach to spine and pain medicine Scott & White Healthcare has received approval from the Texas Medical Board for a neurosurgical fellowship program in spine and pain.  The fellowship is one of only a few in the country that includes both spine and pain medicine. "This comprehensive fellowship program will provide a unique educational opportunity for physicians in the field of neurosurgery and underlines our commitment to a multi-disciplinary approach, providing fellows with exposure to two fields beyond neurosurgery:  orthopedics and pain management," said Vasilios Zerris, M.D., vice chairman of neurosurgery and program director for the fellowship program at Scott & White Memorial Hospital. "We pride ourselves in our ability to see each patient simultaneously through the eyes of both a spine surgeon and a surgical pain management specialist.  And, whether a patient needs minimally invasive spine surgery or an advanced form of pain treatment, we can provide both." The Comprehensive Neurosurgical Fellowship Program in Spine and Pain at Scott & White is designed to provide educational experience in spinal and pain pathology to a graduate of a neurosurgery training program or senior neurosurgery resident.  Few combined spine/pain programs exist despite the fact that spinal pathology and pain are frequently interrelated.  "Traditionally, spine surgery and pain surgery are discrete entities,"said Dr. Zerris, whos also assistant professor of medicine at Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine.   A fellowship is an advanced level of specialty training that goes beyond a residency. The Scott & White fellowship will consist of one year of training divided into: - nine months at Scott & White Memorial Hospital - 10 weeks at the VA Hospital in Temple, and, - two weeks at the Scott & White pain clinic "Depending on their personal interest, these fellows will also be offered the opportunity for ongoing research projects and will get experience in all aspects of spinal care, including that of degenerative conditions, trauma, deformity, as well as infectious disorders," said Dr. Zerris. "Theyll also get experience in inpatient and outpatient care of both elective and emergent treatments."
