For more information for current and prospective Breast Surgical Oncology Fellowship Programs, please use the links below. The Breast Surgical Oncology (BSO) Training Committee reviews and approves breast surgical oncology fellowship training programs annually and accepts new PID applications up to January 15 each year. Strict requirements must be met to be an approved training program. If you are planning to submit a new PID application, please email fellowship@surgonc.org before downloading and completing the application.
The fee for processing applications for programs seeking initial approval will be a non-refundable $2,000 fee and an invoice will be generated and sent once the PID is received. The PID will not be reviewed until the application fee has been paid. Please be aware that this application fee is not the site visit and annual program fee. That is a secondary fee that is assessed at the time of program approval and before the site visit can be scheduled.
Strict requirements must be met to be an approved training program. These are the current Breast Surgical Oncology Fellowship Training Program Documents effective through July 31, 2026.
