Beginning January 2011 and through 2013, the Foundation will support an annual Fellowship Program for a breast radiologist who will train directly with Dr. Rachel Brem. The Fellowship Radiologist will focus on Dr. Brem's protocols for early detection, rapid access to diagnosis, safeguarding the physical and emotional health of the patient through the process, and community outreach to the underserved. The goal is to raise the standard of care throughout the nation by sending radiologists trained to provide the highest standards in breast care everywhere. Upon completion of the fellowship, the Fellowship radiologists will participate in community outreach, educating women about breast cancer research and their options for the ultimate breast health.
The cost of this program for a 2 1/2 year commitment is approximately $205,000. Due to the generosity of one of Brem Foundation's donors, the first 6 months has been funded. If you would like to know more about the Fellowship Program or would like to help support this valuable program, please contact the Foundation at info@bremfoundation.org. |
