Fellows will apply training from the LA to refine and then pilot a capstone project. Capstone projects should address an important health or healthcare issue related to pain, can be at the local, regional, national, or international level, and integrate leadership skills that are important to the progression of your career.

Fellows will refine this project under the guidance of LA mentors and with feedback from peers in the program. The capstone should include an integration of leadership skills and should tangibly advance the fellow’s career.

Examples of Capstone Projects (but not limited to these!):

1. Building a collaborative or mentoring team for a career development award or grant submission

2. Expanding access to pain care

3. Refining hospital policies about pain management

4. Organizing a USASP event or advocacy activity

Fellows will also have the opportunity to engage in optional training activities tailored to their career goals, including but not limited to engagement in USASP committees or editorial fellowships with the Journal of Pain.
