The Regions Hospital Integrated Spine Fellowship is offered as a joint experience between the Departments of Orthopaedic Surgery and Neurological Surgery, and has a strong affiliation with the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. This one year fellowship provides an extensive clinical evaluation and treatment experience in the comprehensive care of patients with disorders of the spine.
