The importance of individualized care, patient advocacy, and a focus on teaching and leadership were also discussed. Additionally, the changing landscape of pain medicine, including the increasing use of percutaneous surgeries and neuromodulation, was highlighted as an exciting future prospect. The role of physiatrists was recognized for their diagnostic skills, emphasis on function, and ability to understand and advocate for patients. The perfect fellow was described as someone willing to learn, take ownership of patient care, and show humility and enthusiasm in their role.
