ABSTRACT
Purpose of Review Across the world, medical training has been affected by the COVID-19 virus and this has changed the way physicians are educated. What is less clear is the effect of the pandemic on breast surgical oncology fellows who were in training during this time. This review discusses the experience of breast surgical oncology fellows during the pandemic and how fellowships adapted to preserve the educational experience and conserve the quality of training. Recent

Findings:

The challenges and changes experienced by breast surgery fellows during the COVID-19 pandemic have proved to be sudden shifts in not only fellowship training, but future patient care and research opportunities, all while confronting the global impact of a deadly pandemic. While experiences between fellowships varied, the similarities and differences encountered highlight the regional and temporal differences in how fellowships responded to the pandemic.

Summary:

Breast surgical oncology fellowship is one year long, with every day allocated to ensure the surgeon has a deep understanding of the multidisciplinary approach to this ever-evolving field. As the pandemic spread and affected different regions with varying severity, elective cases were canceled, resources were re-allocated, and uncertainty abounded. At the same time, novel approaches to fellowship training were rapidly implemented. It will take time and additional research to fully understand the long-term consequences for trainees affected during their breast surgery fellowship.
