The Multidisciplinary Breast Oncology Fellowship is a one-year program accredited by the Society of Surgical Oncology and administered through the Division of Surgical Oncology at the University of Rochester Medical Center. We accept one fellow per year.
The rotations are designed to provide the opportunity for fellows to learn in-depth knowledge of the diagnostic work-up, pre-operative, operative, and postoperative care for patients with breast disease. Core experiences include surgical oncology, imaging, pathology, plastic surgery, medical oncology, radiation oncology, genetics, psycho-oncology, integrative oncology, community outreach and rehabilitation.
The didactic experiences of the program encompass the breadth of multidisciplinary care with the fellow actively participating in tumor board and other conferences pertinent to current issues in breast care. The fellow receives formal training in quality and patient safety, education and research, and professionalism utilizing various delivery methods to further enhance the curriculum.
