Hello,
I have tried to find the answer to these questions on different sites, but have not so please bear with me if you have seen these asked and answered thoroughly before. I am starting my rank order for PMR residencies right now but am interested in possible fellowships in future. I think Sports/spine fellowship is very interesting to me but have seen that these are not ACGME accredited.
1)If I do not plan to work in a big academic setting, is this a huge issue to go into a non-accredited fellowship?
2) is it possible to one day open up your own sports/spine private practice, or is the usual route to get involved with an established clinic of other docs (ortho, sports medicine, pmr, etc).
3) Is a sports and spine fellowship the best way to open up doors to seeing a variety of both pain patients and sports medicine patients? Or could a pain fellowship still allow me to see both types of patients - just based on how I advertise myself?
Thank you for the help.
