A strong clinical experience is complemented by comprehensive instruction in the practice of modern breast imaging. Breast imaging fellows help lead a multi-institutional, multidisciplinary tumor board each week at Baylor Clinic. The conference is well-attended by approximately 30 breast imagers, breast surgeons, breast oncologists, radiation oncologists, geneticists and treatment coordinators from across the Texas Medical Center. Discussion is high-level and frequently spirited. In addition, the entire breast section attends a weekly breast imaging conference on Wednesdays.
