It was during his residency in anesthesiology that Dr. Bakshi became interested in pain management. "I was taken aback by the number of patients I saw who had endured years of suffering, and had gone to different doctors without being able to pinpoint what was causing her pain," recalls Dr. Bakshi. "The pain management doctors were usually able to figure out what the problem was and help the patient. That was my impetus to specialize in pain management." During his anesthesia training, Dr. Bakshi received the Robert D. Dripps, MD, Memorial Award for Outstanding Resident in Anesthesiology. He then did his fellowship in Pain Medicine in the Department of Anesthesiology and Medicine, Division of Pain Medicine at Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, Maryland, where after graduation he served as Instructor in the Department of Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine.
