HPM University Fellowship

HPM University is unique in offering a training program that blends multiple specialties. This program provides comprehensive education and hands-on experience for a diverse range of provider types, including CRNAs, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and physicians. This multidisciplinary approach ensures well-rounded expertise in pain management and offers continuous clinical support within our dedicated ecosystem, designed to help our providers thrive.

Competency is assessed through micro-assessments, long-form papers, and both virtual and onsite competency evaluations.

No travel is required during the didactic phase of the program. However, the clinical residency phase requires travel to HPM-contracted training facilities located across five states. Your faculty advisor will develop a travel plan to ensure efficient training while maintaining balance
