In 1988, the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the University of Southern California School of Medicine; created its own Breast Diagnostic Center for training resident physicians and providing breast care for outpatients and inpatients of Women’s and Children’s Hospital, Los Angeles, California. The structure and function of the Breast Diagnostic Center allow residents to be directly involved in and responsible for evaluation and care of benign breast problems and allow comprehensive breast-care education and integration of referral breast services for residents and patients. Direct faculty supervision, uniform history and physical records on printed forms, fine-needle aspirations and breast biopsies, and staff assistance with follow-up and patient tracking maximize resident physician education and experience. This departmental approach to resident physician training in breast care can be adapted to the resources and logistics of any department of obstetrics and gynecology.
