ACFAS highly recommends the continuation of foot and ankle surgical education after residency in the form of a specialized fellowship. The ACFAS Recognized Fellowship Initiative fosters high-quality fellowship programs through recognition, support and visibility. Programs meeting minimal requirements are officially recognized by the College: programs are reviewed on an annual basis. Fellows of these recognized programs benefit from lower dues rates and recognition of program completion.
