Breast Surgery Fellowship - Grant Medical Center
We prepare our fellows for lifelong careers in the diagnosis and treatment of breast conditions.
OhioHealth Grant Medical Center one-year breast surgery fellowship emphasizes short time detection to diagnosis for our patients of benign and malignant diseases. Our fellows are involved throughout all aspects of patient care and treatment alongside our expert physicians. Nationally we have been recognized for Breast Health Services in the Top 100 Hospitals. The fellowship is available to candidates who have completed a residency and are board-eligible general surgeons.
Why Choose Breast Surgery at Grant Medical Center
Our fellowship program is designed to bring you up to speed smoothly, while learning from the best minds in the field.
Preparation for Independent Practice
We promote hands-on training and exposure to a wide variety of procedures.
Our program is designed to build on the foundational skills established in residency. Clinically, the program is structured to ensure fellows assume progressive responsibility in the breast clinic, seeing on average 50 patients per week.
Fellows spend a six-month rotation in surgical oncology where time is split between the office and operating room. The rotation includes participation in the medical and surgical management of patients with benign and malignant breast diseases, assisting in performing sentinel lymph node, US core needle and breast biopsy, fine needle aspiration biopsies, and follow-up care.
