Dr. Amy Degnim has been a member of the Mayo Clinic staff since 2003. Currently, she serves as consultant in the Department of Surgery and is the Joe M. and Ruth Roberts Professor of Surgery, Mayo Clinic College of Medicine. Dr. Degnim's clinical practice consists of benign and malignant breast disease. She led development of a nationally recognized breast surgery program at Mayo Clinic with national and international presence. She developed the Multidisciplinary Breast Fellowship at Mayo Clinic and served as the initial Program Director.

Dr. Degnim's clinical interests are related to breast cancer surgery and other rare tumor types such as angiosarcoma, as well as high risk breast lesions. Dr. Degnim also leads many research projects related to predicting individual breast cancer risk, and using novel approaches to prevent breast cancer, including topical agents and vaccines. She leads the Mayo Clinic Benign Breast Disease Cohort, a multidisciplinary research study involving approximately 15,000 women, including the study of histology, immunology, genomics, and mammographic changes that are associated with risk of developing breast cancer.
