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 is dedicated to training and graduating top-quality breast surgeons while providing inclusive, high-quality care for all breast patients. Emphasizing prompt detection-to-diagnosis for both benign and malignant disease, our fellowship immerses learners in every aspect of patient care and treatment alongside expert physicians. Our facilities have been nationally recognized as a Top 100 Hospital for Breast Health Services. We are committed to understanding and addressing the diverse needs of each patient throughout their care journey. This fellowship is open to those 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 an average of 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 biopsy, breast ultrasound, and nipple sparing Goldilocks mastectomy, along with follow-up care.
