In an effort to standardize the breast fellowship training curriculum and make the application and acceptance process more structured, the American Society of Breast Surgeons, in collaboration with Society of Surgical Oncology, and the American Society of Breast Disease, has developed comprehensive guidelines for training breast fellows.

To date, 27 standing breast training programs have confirmed that they meet the criteria outlined in the guidelines and have agreed to be inspected within the next three years. Once a program successfully passes an inspection, it will be considered an official training program.
