Visiting Professor Program

 

Bring a foot and ankle expert to your orthopaedic residency program! The AOFAS Visiting Professor Program aims to enhance orthopaedic resident education by sending leading foot and ankle orthopaedic surgeons to residency programs to participate in clinics, lectures, and/or grand rounds.

Residency training programs without full-time foot and ankle orthopaedic faculty are given priority in the application process.
