Abstract

Breast Neoplasms - diagnostic imaging Curriculum Education, Medical, Graduate Fellowships and Scholarships - organization & administration Female Humans Mammography Radiology - education United States
Opportunities exist to provide high-quality breast imaging fellowship training in the community setting. Various challenges exist, however, including obtaining funding for a fellowship position, creating an educational curriculum in a potentially nonacademic environment, and developing an overall competitive program that will attract radiology trainees. Here, we explore factors that contribute to the establishment of an academic breast imaging fellowship program in the community setting based on experience, including (1) providing guidance on how to secure funding for a breast imaging fellowship position; (2) developing a training curriculum based on established guidelines from the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, American College of Radiology, and Society of Breast Imaging; and (3) navigating the landscape of the recruitment process, from program branding to matching applicants.
