Interview
If you are selected for an interview, we will contact you to set up a convenient time to meet our pain medicine faculty and the current fellows in our program. Dr. Lynn Kohan, Associate Professor of Anesthesiology, directs the Pain Medicine Fellowship.
Our fellows need to be diplomatic and energetic, have good interpersonal skills, and be enthusiastic members of the clinical team. Fellows should show interest in the clinical and scientific aspects of pain medicine through reading, teaching, and conference participation. The salary for fellows can be found on the UVA GME website. Our experience has been that fellows find the salaries and benefits competitive.
