During the opening session of the Society of Breast Imaging Fellows meeting at RSNA 2014, there was discussion on how to improve the current interview and offer process for residents applying to breast imaging fellowship programs. Since that time, the Society has taken the initiative to form a Breast Imaging Fellowship Committee; Gary Whitman, MD (chair), Rachel Brem, MD, Phil Evans, MD, Debra Monticciolo, MD, Elizabeth Morris, MD, and Murray Rebner, MD. The SBI is pleased to announce the first Breast Imaging Fellowship Match was completed on June 14, 2017 for the 2019 appointment year.
SBI wishes to acknowledge the outstanding contribution of the Program Directors Subcommittee and their assistance in securing the required number of position and institutions to ensure a successful Match in 2018:
Christine Dove, MD, Cherie Kuzmiak, DO, Victoria Mango, MD, Laurie Margolies, MD, Amy Melsaether, MD, Mary Newell, MD, Shadi Aminololama-Shakeri, MD, Priscilla Slanetz, MD, Margaret Szabunio, MD, Katie Hunt, MD, Janine Katzen, MD, and Kathryn Zamora, MD.
There are many benefits of the match. It allows applicants and programs an opportunity to consider all options before making a decision and allows the resident to apply one year in advance of entering a fellowship which provides them ample exposure to breast imaging so they can make an informed decision about their careers. Fellowship Programs must meet the following criteria: be accredited or affiliated with an ACGME program (your institution’s residency program meets this criterion), sign a sponsorship agreement, and agree to the set time frame as indicated by the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP), the company that will manage the breast imaging fellowship match.
The dates for the 2019 Radiology Fellowship Match for 2020 appointments are:

In order to meet this requirement, the SBI is asking that all programs participating in the match agree to not make any offers to candidates in 2018 and to begin the interviewing period for candidates on January 1, 2019, no interviews until then however you may accept applications.
If your institution is participating for the first time, please sign and agree to the terms as set forth by the SBI Memorandum of Understanding. Please email the signed form to yfields@sbi-online.org
