greetings my name is nabil sabai and i am the program director here at the henry henry ford
hospital pain medicine fellowship program i would like to give you a brief overview of our program
in preparation for your interview with us so first of all congratulations one on make the decision
of choosing pain medicine as your field and to getting an interview offer for our for our program
one thing i would like to say about our program is that is is very well
and balanced we have a pretty robust program with regards to both procedural and educational aspect
we have about six centers in southeast michigan our fellows rotate to all the centers
and we we usually assign them to some of the more satellite private practice type model clinics um
to get the one to get the experience of that uh that model and two when there's procedures that
are not uh done every day or routinely uh fellows can that's how fellows get uh you know higher on
their numbers of more quote-unquote exotic type procedures like spinal cord stimulation
stellates other sympathetic blocks the main the main center is in the academic
hospital down in detroit michigan so a lot of the pain clinic rotations will be there
um about one thing about the rotations that are required by the acgme
one thing that we've done here is we've we have catered them or modeled them in a way that
it overlaps somewhat with pain i'll give you an example so for the neurology rotation
we have asked the headache specialist in neurology to to run that rotation so it
fulfills the neurology rotation and at the same time our fellows are getting experience with with
a headache specialist and learning about botox injections specifically for headache type pains
another example is physiatry there are physicists in our health system that work specifically with
conservative spine and that's another example of you know modeling the rotations to uh overlap more
with with pain so that's a it's a much more um related and enjoyable experience for our fellows
uh also with with psychiatry uh our fellows rotate with our behavioral health psychologist
as well as maple grove which is the detox center so they spend a couple weeks there learning um
from that patient population and the providers there
we do want our fellows to all be involved in scholarly activity uh and we do provide time
and resources uh specifically for that um we we encourage our fellows to get their their idea and
their irb they are their proposal approved by the irb shortly after they start so that they can uh
execute and complete their research project and ideally publish it upon completion so with that
i welcome you to the the interview process and look forward to meeting with you thank you
hello my name is joseph hannah i'm one of the um
pain medicine staff here at henry ford uh together we started a weekly 30 to 45 minutes chapter
review sessions at the beginning of the year we generally select a concise pain medicine textbook
as a source for these review sessions each week one of our fellows is assigned a chapter to
review and present to us and then we engage in a meaningful discussion of this chapter um the main
goal is to motivate our fellows to take some time of their busy schedule and a busy fellowship here
to review the core and the essential topics of pain medicine we believe that together
with our scheduled didactics daily feedback and teaching that happens every day in the pain clinic
and are all contributing to the education for our fellows and their preparation for the it exam
and the actual pain medicine board we saw how all these efforts uh were in turn reflected
in their ite scores and the passing rates of our fellows to the actual paintboards so far so far
the feedback that we got from our graduating fellows were all in favor of these sessions
so we are continuing them and we hope to see you soon hi i'm dr zador i am the director of the
pain institute here at the henry ford pain clinic and we have a team-based approach for the
treatment of high-impact chronic pain as a fellow you'll be exposed to a
multi-disciplinary approach to the treatment of complex pain we look forward to working with you
hi i'm john dooley i'm the clinical psychologist with the pain clinic here
we have a multi-disciplinary clinic i see people for combination of pre-procedural evaluations
for spinal cord stimulators ketamine infusions as well as for ongoing pain management psychotherapy
the fellows are will have the opportunity to be involved in those evaluations
to sit in on some of the therapy and to get an idea
of the psychological implications of living a life with chronic pain
hi my name is i'm one of the nurse practitioners here at the henry ford
chronic pain multi-disciplinary pain clinic um we work collaboratively with
the physicians to facilitate patient care our physicians have multi-discip
background their anesthesiologist physical medicine and rehab and pain psychiatrists i
hope you found this video informative and welcome to henry ford my name is roger haddad i'm senior
staff anesthesiologist pain physician currently with one of the graduating fellows dr patel hello
we're going to give you guys a little tour of the pearson pain clinic where we do some of our
procedures like spinal cord stimulators dr patel just finished his final one before he graduated
i am a recent graduate five years ago from this program and i can tell you this program is one
of the best programs in terms of interventional experience as well as clinical knowledge that
you can receive across the country guys dr patel he's graduating and going to a private practice
today we performed a spinal cord stimulator it's kind of bittersweet as the last time he his first
spinal cord simulator was with me nine months ago and today he performed his final one and was able
to do it all solo without any intervention from myself in addition to any of the basic procedures
that we do do i also do perform sympathetic blocks cervical transferaminals celiac plexus splenkenic
nerve blocks trigeminal nerve blocks stellar ganglion as well as spinal cord stimulators
as well as kyphoplasties just to give you an example this is one that we just performed today
which were two leads and dr patel did a great job and we hope for all fellows at the end of
their graduation to be able to perform these at the caliber level as any of their senior
staff just want to give you a little tour of the pearson pain clinic behind me you'll get to see
all the rooms that we have here apparently now we're in between cases
all right so we hope to see you guys soon unfortunately won't be there in person

off welcome and i'm happy to meet you guys here coming up for interviews but i want to say a
little bit about what i specifically do as we all have our niche as far as attendings go here my
niche is probably the more advanced interventional procedures such as kypoplasties and i'm happy
to report that we were just approved to start doing mild and osteocool here so i look forward
to meeting you all and possibly discussing these procedures during our interview session thank you
hi there my name is adnan hussain i'm one of the pain staff here i also do a lot of regional

a lot of advanced procedures also very early on in the fellowship you'll be doing um branch box
circle media branch box epidurals and we also have faculty that do hyphoplasty which i recently got
trained on this is excellent fellowship not only for the procedures but also for the didactics
and the medical knowledge you'll gain here you'll see excellent acute pain management
and a very diverse patient population here in detroit i'm excited to hopefully
have the opportunity to work with you guys and congratulations on choosing pain as a fellowship
hello my name is sarah money and my clinical interest is interventional cancer pain within
the henry ford pain division in my opinion the best thing about this fellowship is that it is
fully integrated and what that means is you're going to get the full breadth of pain training
from the attendings within this division we have neurology physiatry psychology and anesthesia
all within the division and this provides a good comprehensive approach to pain management
and your training is going to be complete after this fellowship year i hope you've
enjoyed these videos and i look forward to meeting you at your interview thank you
