Offhand I don't know of any that combine the two into one fellowship. Most do one or the other, possibly with some general surg path. One place does GU + Breast.
UCLA has a GYN/Breast fellowship. Its official title is Women's Health Fellow.
Hi all:
Wow, thank you so much for your prompt reply. I thought it's common to do Gyn+Breast fellowship since that's what my program director did... but maybe I'm wrong. So far I've only heard about UCLA offering this kind of fellowship. How about out east? Any goood program there? Also, is it competitive as far as you know? Thanks!
Pathologists rule!!!

Yes, Yale has a combined program with Dr. Tavassoli (an incredible breast/gyn pathologist). Also, all of the other breast and gyn attendings there are excellent in my opinion.

The website doesn't say it is combined, but I think it is.

I think MGH has a Women's Path fellowship.
Stanford has one (just started).
Pittsburgh has a combined breast/gyn fellowship. I believe Dabbs is the director.

Ohio St. has one although it's technically listed as Breast/GU

It is combined breast/gyn.
MGH has a variety of subspecialty fellowships, with a myriad of combinations available.
The Scully fellowship is a 2 year Gyn and Cyto fellowship, after which you are ACGME boarded in Cyto.
The Gillette fellowship is a 1 year Breast subspecialty fellowship.
And, surg path fellowships are available in which you can choose 2-3 specialties..you can choose gyn+breast if you want to.
The difference at MGH versus lots of other programs, is that all of the above fellowships have sign out privileges (except for Cyto, which is ACGME accredited). The first two weeks on any service you are cosigned with an attending, and then after that you sign out your own cases. Of course, you can show cases around, that's always available.
