“At DSSP, we are deeply committed to training the future generation of interventional spine and musculoskeletal physicians,” said Susan Sorosky, MD, Fellowship Director. “What sets our program apart is its recognition by NASS, its blend of rigorous academic training in a private practice setting, and its focus on ethical, evidence-based patient care.”
