Opportunities exist to provide high-quality breast imaging fellowship training in the community setting. Various challenges exist, however, including obtaining funding for a fellowship position, creating an educational curriculum in a potentially nonacademic environment, and developing an overall competitive program that will attract radiology trainees. Here, we explore factors that contribute to the establishment of an academic breast imaging fellowship program in the community setting based on experience, including (1) providing guidance on how to secure funding for a breast imaging fellowship position; (2) developing a training curriculum based on established guidelines from the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, American College of Radiology, and Society of Breast Imaging; and (3) navigating the landscape of the recruitment process, from program branding to matching applicants.
在社区环境中提供高质量乳腺影像 fellowship 培训存在机会。然而，也存在各种挑战，包括为 fellowship 职位获得资金、在可能非学术的环境中创建教育课程，以及开发一个能吸引放射科住院医师的整体有竞争力的项目。在此，我们根据经验探讨有助于在社区环境中建立学术性乳腺影像 fellowship 项目的因素，包括：(1) 就如何为乳腺影像 fellowship 职位获得资金提供指导；(2) 根据毕业后医学教育认证委员会、美国放射学会和乳腺影像学会既定的指南制定培训课程；(3) 从项目品牌塑造到匹配申请人，应对招聘过程中的各种情况。
