Program Summary/Training Goals:
The Orthopedic Foot & Ankle Fellowship is a
extensive, unparalleled one year fellowship in the setting of
a high-volume private practice program led by Christopher F. Hyer, DPM,
MS, FACFAS and Mark A. Prissel, DPM, FACFAS, in addition to the OFAC orthopaedic
foot and ankle surgeons. Fellows will encounter a broad range of foot
and ankle pathology, with a focus on sports, ankle replacement, arthroscopy,
and complex hindfoot and forefoot reconstruction. Our fellowship places heavy
emphasis on the development of the fellow's surgical skills. This is
accomplished by providing fellows an appropriate level of autonomy in an
intensive hands-on clinical and surgical environment. Individually, each
fellow will have the opportunity to participate in approximately 700 surgical
cases comprising over 2,000 procedures. This fellowship offers an
in-depth experience within the business aspects of surgery including office
management, product development, and operational efficiency. A unique one
year experience designed to prepare the highly skilled foot and ankle surgeon
for a changing healthcare environment. The OFAC fellowship bond is
strong. All graduating fellows become lifelong members of the OFAC family
and are included in educational endeavors, publication projects, product
development opportunities, and regular reunion meetings. To all of us,
the fellowship is not just one additional year of training, but rather an
invitation to become a member of our uniquely diverse and highly specialized
family of innovative and dedicated surgeons.
