The Team

The radiologists in the Breast Imaging section are board certified subspecialists dedicated to women's health. We are actively involved in research and teaching within OHSU, nationally and internationally. Our section works closely with clinicians in many departments including surgical oncology, medical oncology, radiation oncology, primary care, and obstetrics and gynecology. Most importantly, we interact closely with our patients and guide them through their imaging and procedures with care and attention.

Fellowship

The breast imaging fellowship at Oregon Health & Science University is a 1 year non-ACGME fellowship program. The fellowship program supports 2 fellows per year, and encompasses all aspects of diagnostic and interventional breast imaging, as well as resident and medical student teaching, clinical and educational research, and breast center patient safety/quality improvement.

Fellows spend the year in the OHSU breast imaging center, receiving clinical training in digital breast tomosynthesis, breast ultrasound, breast MRI, and all associated interventional techniques including aspiration, steroid injection, biopsy, and preoperative localization.  The weekly schedule includes time on diagnostics, screenings, interventions, MRI, interpretation of outside imaging, and academic time. 

Fellows have optional non-breast elective time in the second half of the year. Elective rotations are flexible and can be arranged across other radiology sub-specialties, including body, neuro, obstetrical/gynecologic imaging (including fetal MRI), or other areas of radiology, per fellow interest.

Fellows prepare for weekly multidisciplinary breast tumor board conferences. Training is also enriched with participation in a national weekly didactic lecture series and quarterly journal club through the Breast Imaging Fellowship Consortium. Additionally, fellows participate in OHSU breast center M&M and simulation sessions. Fellows also spend time in breast surgery, pathology, and oncology to deepen collaboration and care between these closely related specialties.

Fellows take intermittent breast only weekend call, reading screening exams and MRI’s. There is no overnight or non-breast call. Moonlighting opportunities are available through the institution and associated VA.

Application information

We follow the SBI fellowship match timeline. We will begin accepting applications on November 1, 2025 to hire fellows for the academic year July 2027 to June 2028. The application deadline is December 31, 2025. Interviews will begin in January 2026 and will be held virtually.  Our program will participate in the NRMP to fill our fellowship positions.

Facilities

The breast center is located in the Center for Health and Healing building 2 at the South Waterfront campus and opened in the spring of 2019. The breast center is located adjacent to the breast surgery and breast oncology clinics, for close collaboration. The center has 4 Hologic mammogram units, an upright Affirm mammography biopsy unit and 2 dedicated breast ultrasound rooms. MRI’s are performed on 1.5 and 3T scanners. The reading rooms have screening and diagnostic pods with Visage PACS reading stations.
