Breast Cancer 2023 Donor Impact Update Our first Breast Fellow, Dr. Christopher Porter, started this August. We are so excited to have him as our inaugural fellow. We have also confirmed/matched a fellow for the 20242025 academic year. Thank you all for helping to make this fellowship possible!

Chris’ Personal Statement

“My interest in breast surgery has run through every level of my education. In high school, I took a medical explorations course and shadowed my hometown breast oncology practice and was allowed to continue this each year in undergraduate. During residency, my favorite work has been not only breast cases but also evaluating data points and creating databases from previous breast oncology patients. Simply, I have always known I wanted to work in breast oncology.” Residency has further confirmed that breast oncology is what I want to become great at, and a program and faculty with a mission. I vow to continue to improve myself and be the fellow you enjoy coming to work with each day; to be reliable, honest, hardworking, self-sacrificing and at times, an ability to bring lightheartedness to each day.”
