Headache and Facial Pain
The University of Pennsylvania Headache and Facial Pain Fellowship Program is accredited by the United Council for Neurologic Subspecialties (UCNS). We accept 1 fellow per year and fellowship training is 1 year. Fellows receive comprehensive training in outpatient management and headache procedures. We collaborate with neurosurgery, neuroradiology, pain management, neuro ophthalmology and Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation departments. Penn offers a rich environment for research activities in basic and clinical science. Fellows are able to join ongoing research activities or be supported to initiate their own projects.
Fellowship Curriculum
The fellowship program offers flexibility depending on the career goals of the fellow, but generally has the following structure:
- 90% clinical time with faculty mentors in the Perelman Center for Advanced Medicine and Penn Presbyterian Hospital outpatient clinics.
- Development of a research project or other scholarship is encouraged. Effort will be made to establish both clinical and research mentors early in the program.
