• Opportunities to observe and perform procedures including chemodenenervation, ITB pump management and refills, urodynamic studies, plastic and neurosurgery (the latter implanting intrathecal pumps).
• Outpatient clinics involving yearly physicals, during which the fellow acts as the primary care physician for patients with SCI under the guidance of faculty.

Fellows complete their training with a solid foundation in SCI medicine.
