Under the aegis of the prestigious Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE), we at the Department of Spine Anaesthesia, Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road, Bengaluru, India, take pride in conducting this enriching 1-year “Spine Anaesthesia” Fellowship programme encompassing a comprehensive, structured curriculum with emphasis on developing in-depth knowledge in all facets of spine-related ailments and relevant anaesthesia implications, thereby providing specialty expertise for anaesthesiologists across the globe, which will render them experts in this niche field.
Our 1-year-long “Spine Anaesthesia” Fellowship Programme aims to foster expertise in rendering anaesthesia services to patients coming for a wide range of complex spine surgeries, including deformity corrections, minimal invasive spine surgeries (MISS), and robotically assisted spine surgeries.
This fellowship is designed to inculcate all the world-set standards of teaching and professionalism at work heralded by the Department of Spine Anaesthesia. We are supported by the teaching faculty of various departments such as the Department of Spine Surgery, the Department of Neurology, the Department of Radiodiagnosis, and the Department of Biostatistics, with the vision of training the Fellow to independently manage patients coming for various complex spine surgeries upon completion of their fellowship programme. Furthermore, we endeavour to set the precedent of having similar fellowship programmes across multiple specialty hospitals in due course.
Manipal Hospitals as an entity came into existence in 1991 with the launch of a 600-bed flagship quaternary care hospital at Old Airport Road, Bangalore. It provides patient care in over 60 specialties under one roof. Today, Manipal Hospitals is one of India’s leading healthcare groups, with over 9500 beds across 33 hospitals.
