Breast Surgery Oncology Fellow (MD/DO)

The Inova D'Aniello Breast Surgical Oncology Fellowship at Inova Fairfax Hospital is excited to welcome applicants for our program! This 12-month multidisciplinary fellowship program boasts monthly clinical blocks interspersed with a hearty didactic schedule.

All of the rotations will take place at our world class facilities: Inova Schar Cancer and the Inova Fairfax Medical Campus.

Inova Schar Cancer is a brand-new facility that houses the breast surgery and cancer program. We offer training in the management of both benign and malignant breast disease. In 2020, 2,500 new patients were seen by our surgeons and 1,800 breast cases performed - half of which were for cancer.

The fellow will have an apprentice model of learning during the rotations with breast surgery, radiation oncology, and medical oncology. The rotations are structured to allow for continuity of care across the spectrum of the breast cancer treatment continuum. Multidisciplinary tumor board meetings are held weekly, and the fellow will be expected to present cases in which they participated in the management and care.

The fellow will also gain experience in community outreach through participation in our world class Life With Cancer program, by attending support groups and helping to coordinate educational programs and public events from diagnosis through survivorship.

Our multidisciplinary faculty is highly invested in fellow education. The core teaching faculty includes nine world-renowned breast surgeons who have perfected their practice in the breast surgery and oncology field.
