Abstract
Dr Bellingham completed his medical school and anesthesiology residency at Western University. He followed this with a fellowship in Chronic Pain Management at the University of Toronto, with a focus on interventional pain management using fluoroscopy and ultrasound guided techniques. Dr Bellingham returned to Western University to work in the Department of Anesthesia and Perioperative Medicine in his capacity as an anesthetist and as a chronic pain specialist. Here at Western, he directs the Pain Clinic at St. Joseph’s Health Care and also played a key role in the development of Canada’s first Pain Medicine residency program. We had an opportunity to chat with Dr Bellingham and discuss a wide range of topics including his choice of career path, the Pain Medicine residency program, and other pain medicine topics in the context of the current opioid epidemic.
