DESCRIPTION The fellow will be exposed to all aspects of breast care, including interpretation of screening and diagnostic mammograms, breast ultrasound, breast MRI, and all breast interventions. In addition, there is a rotation which includes dedicated days to be spent with one of the breast surgeons as they see patients in the Breast Center or in the operating room, observing surgical procedures on patients with whom the fellow is familiar. There is also dedicated time spent with the pathologist analyzing tissue samples from biopsies performed either in the Breast Center or in surgery. Monthly rotations are somewhat flexible in order to accommodate the future practice needs of the fellow.
