The Microsurgery Fellowship at Yale School of Medicine is a high-volume clinical training program with a major focus on breast reconstruction. Fellows work with more than six faculty members who perform microsurgical procedures and gain experience in breast reconstruction, lymphatic reconstruction and lower-extremity reconstruction, with optional exposure to head and neck microsurgery, peripheral nerve surgery, replantation and revascularization. The program performs more than 175 free-flap procedures annually, including deep inferior epigastric perforator, profunda artery perforator, diagonal upper gracilis, lumbar artery perforator and thoracodorsal artery perforator flaps. Fellows rotate through Yale New Haven Health and participate in weekly grand rounds, monthly clinical indications and quality assurance conferences, journal clubs and research opportunities. Fellows are also provided protected time to attend the annual American Society for Reconstructive Microsurgery meeting.
