, /PRNewswire/ — A world leader in breast conservation surgery, Hoag announced it is making a significant contribution to training the next generation of oncoplastic surgeons through the launch of a new Muzzy Family Endowed Fellowship in Oncoplastic Breast Surgery.
This is the first fellowship of its kind in the nation, one that leverages Hoag’s position as a “privademic” institution that can push boundaries and elicit meaningful innovation in medicine. In particular, this new fellowship is distinct in its intensity. Fellows who come to Hoag will undergo two years of additional specialized training, led by Dr. Sadia Khan, a former Muzzy Family Endowed Fellow, and Dr. Nirav Savalia.
“We hope this inspires other programs. We want every woman to have access to oncoplastic surgery,” said Sadia Khan, D.O., medical director, breast surgical oncology, who co-leads the fellowship with Nirav Savalia, M.D., oncoplastic surgeon at Hoag.
