General Resources

2 Minute Breast Exam The intent of this website is to educate women on the benefits of the 2 Minute Breast Exam in the hope that they will tell their physicians and clinicians that it is okay to take 2 Minutes to do their breast exam- and, in fact, they want their clinician to take a full 2 minutes.
