Our goal is to prepare fellows for supervisory roles in busy breast imaging practices and competency in high-level breast interventions.
The Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine - Scott & White Breast Imaging Fellowship is a one-year program that provides training in all aspects of breast imaging and breast interventions. Our program emphasizes practice skills gained through one-on-one teaching.
We accept one fellow per year.
As the largest not-for-profit health care system in Texas and one of the largest in the United States, Baylor Scott & White serves 41 counties through 52 hospitals, more than 1,200 access points, more than 7,100 active physicians, more than 52,000 team members and the Baylor Scott & White Health Plan.
