Visiting Professor Program

 

In-person and virtual visits are available for the 2022 AOFAS Visiting Professor Program! The program aims to enhance orthopaedic resident education with programming presented by leading foot and ankle orthopaedic surgeons. Programming may include clinic, lecture, grand rounds, case presentations, review of previous OITE exam questions, and/or journal club.

Residency training programs without full-time foot and ankle orthopaedic faculty are given priority in the application process. Hosts can prepare for their virtual visit using this toolkit.
