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 for 2009-2010 is $56,089. Our experience has been that fellows find the salary adequate in this community. Charlottesville is widely known as an exceptional area in which to live and study. The University provides abundant opportunities for cultural and intellectual stimulation, as well as sports and recreation. The area is historic and beautiful and the climate mild.
