Jameson Cumsky, M.D.

Medical school: Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, OH
Residency: Mayo School of Graduate Medical Education, Phoenix, AZ

I have had the pleasure of working with Mayo Clinic's Breast Imaging Department as a resident, which made choosing Mayo Clinic for my fellowship training one of the easiest decisions I have made. I have had the opportunity to work with every imaging modality in the field, including contrast-enhanced mammography and molecular breast imaging. The staff is very education focused, and I have not gone a day without learning and improving. We also have fantastic and experienced technologists and sonographers who we value as essential members of our team. My favorite part of the fellowship has been the people I work with, but a close second are the invaluable opportunities I have been given to become not just a competent breast radiologist, but an outstanding one.

Residency: Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, OK

The Mayo Clinic in Arizona Breast Imaging Department offers state-of-the-art technology with training that includes screening and diagnostic mammography, contrast-enhanced mammography, breast ultrasound, breast MRI, molecular breast imaging, and breast interventional procedures including radioactive I-125 seed localizations. I work closely with breast surgeons, medical oncologists, and radiation oncologists during our multidisciplinary conferences to optimize patient care. The breast imaging faculty are wonderful to work with and provide a breadth and depth of knowledge which challenges you to continue to learn and grow. There are also many research opportunities to pursue to expand your experience. I enjoy coming to work every day and appreciate the opportunity to be a part of the Breast Imaging Fellowship.

2019 Graduate

Breast Attending at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida

The Breast Imaging Fellowship prepared me for a career in academic medicine. The program and institution are supportive of research endeavors, offer the opportunity to teach residents in the reading room every day, and allowed me to independently practice and perform breast imaging procedures early on in the fellowship. This learned confidence made the transition from fellow to staff easy and fun.

2018 Graduate

Breast Radiologist at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas

I was fortunate to learn from highly respected experts in my field and to strengthen my overall skillset through exposure to additional radiology disciplines during the course of the Breast Imaging Fellowship. I emerged from this program with a complement of skills that has enabled me to function very proficiently at an extremely high level. I left prepared for busy clinical practice. Most importantly, I know that I am a better physician and a better person because of my time at Mayo. I would recommend this program without reservation and I believe it to be, hands down, the best fellowship training experience obtainable.

I am so grateful for the privilege of completing a fellowship with the Breast Imaging division at Mayo Clinic in Phoenix, Arizona.

From discussing all of our cases of the day, to reviewing board-style questions and engaging with multidisciplinary colleagues, Mayo professors always provided a dynamic learning environment. As a result, I became proficient and confident at evaluating and managing patients with a diverse spectrum of breast diseases.

A new chapter in Puerto Rico

"Yania Lopez-Alvarez, M.D. returned home to Puerto Rico after her fellowship to put her training to use. Two months after Dr. Lopez-Alvarez’s return, Hurricane Maria devastated the island. Many physicians left due to the hurricane and economic crisis, but Dr. Lopez-Alvarez remains rock solid in her commitment to remain in Puerto Rico and be part of the solution to improve life on the island. She says Mayo Clinic’s investment in her medical education will have significant dividends for her fellow islanders." - Mayo Clinic Alumni Association Article, November 2020
