BSO Fellows Skills Course
Imaging, Oncoplastics & Axillary Surgery
January 16–17, 2026 • Cincinnati, Ohio
Registration Deadline: January 5, 2026
This non-CME comprehensive program includes training in imaging, oncoplastics, and axillary surgery designed primarily for the breast fellow with little or no prior experience in diagnostic or interventional breast ultrasound and oncoplastic or axillary breast surgery techniques. Self-paced pre-recorded lectures will cover the basics of axillary surgery, oncoplastic techniques, ultrasound physics, scanning techniques, and the interpretation of breast lesions. The faculty will share their personal experiences and discuss the Fellows Imaging Certification Track. This course will be accepted as the all-day hands-on element for the certification track.
This course's hands-on imaging session offers practical applications of diagnostic interventions. Attendees will practice core biopsy, pathology and intraoperative ultrasound application, and demonstrate upright and prone stereotactic breast biopsy techniques. The hands-on oncoplastic session offers practical application of basic oncoplastic procedures. Attendees will practice skin markings, cavity closure with glandular displacement, aesthetic scar placement, crescent mastopexy, inframammary fold crescent, and the donut therapeutic mastopexy. We are incorporating a new axillary surgery component into this year's program. Complete details will be announced soon.
