Breast Imaging Fellowship
St. Joseph’s Health Care London is proud to host a dynamic, interdisciplinary Breast Care Program, bringing together a dedicated team of radiologists, surgeons, advanced practice nurses, and other healthcare professionals. We are committed to delivering innovative care, fostering collaborative teamwork, and advancing education and research in breast health.
Our center is an affiliate of the Ontario Breast Screening Program (OBSP), including the high-risk program. With a high patient volume and state-of-the-art technology, our fellowship program provides comprehensive training in all areas of breast imaging, including screening, diagnostic imaging, interventional procedures, and opportunities for research and teaching.
State-of-the-Art Equipment and High-Volume Practice
Our imaging equipment includes:
Each year, we perform:
Fellowship Experience
Fellows gain hands-on experience in a wide range of diagnostic and interventional procedures, including:
Fellows will actively participate in Breast Imaging rounds, where current cases are reviewed, and new techniques and advancements in the field are discussed. They will also be involved in weekly Multidisciplinary Tumor Boards, presenting complex oncology cases and gaining valuable experience in delivering radiology reports to an interdisciplinary audience.
Throughout the fellowship, fellows are gradually given increasing responsibility for supervising cases and consulting with colleagues.
Research Opportunities
Our center provides an enriching environment for clinical research, with dedicated research scientists from Robarts and Lawson’s Research Institute. Our team was the first in North America to perform CEM-guided biopsy as part of a worldwide study, and we will participate in the upcoming Contrast Enhanced Mammography Imaging Screening Trial (CMIST). Our center is also involved in the Tomosynthesis Mammographic Imaging Screening Trial (TMIST), the largest North American prospective screening trial.
Research opportunities are available in collaboration with Lawson and Robarts research institutes, as well as with the Surgical Breast Center and the London Regional Cancer Program (LRCP). Fellows will be provided with one day of protected academic time to work on research projects.
Fellows are expected to show sufficient progression in research activity to successfully complete the fellowship program.
