Duration of Fellowship and Funding
The fellowship will last for 2 months and must take place in the first half of 2025 (January to June). The fellow must ensure their availability for the exact agreed period as postponement is not possible. The fellow will receive a grant (€2.500,-) upon completion of the training and delivery of a final report, signed by the Head of Department of the hosting training centre. The grant is intended to contribute in part to travel and accommodation expenses during the training period. ESOR cannot guarantee that the grant will cover these costs in full. During the training period, the fellow is responsible for covering their expenses, including health insurance.
programme structure
The programme offers an intensive, individualised instruction in breast imaging interpretation and clinical research methodology. It includes training in breast imaging for screening, diagnosis and intervention, incorporating daily image interpretation of mammography, ultrasound and MRI studies; biopsy onset action and follow-up; and quality control in a busy, state-of-the-art breast center. During the training period, the radiologist will be assigned a research mentor and a clinical mentor, and will receive intensive one-on-one instruction in the use of the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) lexicon. In addition, trainees work on a clinical research project. They are additionally helped to prepare an original research manuscript for publication and are mentored in grantsmanship to support continued research upon their return home.
