Breast Imaging Fellowship

The MetroHealth Medical Center Breast Imaging Fellowship is accepting applications for a one-year fellowship in breast imaging. 

MetroHealth Medical Center is a teaching affiliate of Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine and provides breast health services to the greater Cleveland, OH region performing nearly 45,000 breast exams and procedures annually. 

Our section is responsible for breast imaging and intervention throughout the MetroHealth System, which includes a central diagnostic and therapeutic breast imaging center and multiple satellite facilities. 

As a breast imaging fellow, you will interpret a wide range of breast imaging studies and learn to proficiently perform breast imaging procedures. 

  • Imaging studies include system wide 3D tomosynthesis screening, diagnostic mammograms and ultrasound, MRI and screening ABUS for patients with dense breast tissue.

  • Our fellow will also participate in a weekly multidisciplinary tumor board.
