Before you shortlist
How to compare the training
Use these questions alongside each programme's published facts. Eligibility, participation and funding must be confirmed for the specific appointment.
Separate reconstructive and oncological scope
Ask how the placement divides time between reconstruction, cancer surgery, breast-conserving work and aesthetic procedures. Identify whether the host is seeking a plastic surgery or a breast/general surgery training background.
Establish the reconstructive mix
Request the expected exposure to implant-based and autologous reconstruction, microsurgery, revision work and long-term follow-up. Ask which elements are performed by the fellow and which are observational.
Assess multidisciplinary teaching
Compare access to planning meetings, counselling, imaging discussions and outcomes review. Ask how the fellowship teaches coordination with the wider breast service and evaluates the fellow's progress.
Use the exact fellowship framework and host requirements
The RCS England and Association of Breast Surgery framework distinguishes advanced breast surgery from oncoplastic and reconstructive breast surgery. It describes a timetable, research and audit, and access to relevant breast and plastic surgery activities. Michigan's separate microsurgery route has its own plastic surgery training prerequisites. These examples help distinguish pathways; neither framework sets admission or operative privileges for all breast reconstruction posts worldwide.
Common questions
Plan your next step
Are oncoplastic and breast reconstruction fellowships interchangeable?
Compare the actual curriculum and required training background. RCS England's framework distinguishes breast surgery pathways and includes oncoplastic and reconstructive activities. A programme title alone cannot establish the balance of cancer surgery, breast-conserving techniques, implants and free-flap work.
Should I also search microsurgery fellowships?
Yes, if your learning objectives include microsurgical reconstruction. Review the breast component of each microsurgery programme and compare it with dedicated breast posts. Also establish the time allocated to other reconstructive areas so the breadth suits your objectives.
Does access to free-flap lists mean I will operate?
No. Attendance, assisting and supervised operating are different levels of participation. Request a written description of the role available for your training and registration status, the supervision provided and the way progression is assessed.
