The Breast Pathology Fellowship at The Mount Sinai Hospital is a one-year advanced fellowship that combines education, clinical, and research activities with excellent mentorship. The fellowship provides an invaluable opportunity to develop trasinees’ skill set as a diagnostic breast pathologist under the close supervision of experienced attending pathologists.
We provide comprehensive training in breast pathology to two fellows who have completed at least three years of training through an accredited anatomic pathology residency program or four years of combined anatomic and clinical pathology training. Our fellows receive in-depth clinical, research, and teaching experience that emphasizes a multidisciplinary approach to diagnosis and management of breast diseases. Our fellows go on to practice independently in academic and community hospital settings. In addition to the regular in-house breast biopsies and resection specimens, we have an active consult service run by Syed Hoda, MD, the editor of Rosen’s Breast Pathology, who brings extensive expertise and knowledge of breast pathology.
As part of the Department of Pathology’s Division of Breast Pathology, fellows work closely with the Mount Sinai Tisch Cancer Center’s Dubin Breast Center at The Mount Sinai Hospital, where patients access a full range of breast health services, including diagnostics, surgery, medical and radiation oncology, and post-treatment support. The Division sees approximately 9,000 breast cases every year, including 1,000 new cancer cases, 5,300 core biopsies, and about 700 cases from outside institutions for second opinions.
