OFAC participates in the Orthopedic Foot & Ankle Fellowship Match program sponsored by the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society. It is designed for M.D. and D.O. candidates who seek further training in the treatment of foot and ankle disorders. We will be accepting applications for the 2019-2020 program starting in August 2017.
Orthopedic Fellowship ApplicationEducation is the foundation
for outstanding clinical care
At OFAC, we’re dedicated to resident and fellow education. We train orthopedic and podiatric residents from Grant Medical Center, Doctors Hospital and Ohio University. We also support a strong fellowship program and have trained many of the foot and ankle surgeons in central Ohio.
Initiated in 1998, the Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Center Fellowship program attracts top candidates for both the Orthopedic Fellowship and the Podiatric Foot and Ankle Surgery Fellowship. Through clinical and research excellence, our fellowship programs remain the most well regarded training programs of their kind and are at the forefront of the foot and ankle subspecialty.

Fellowship Responsibilities
Approximately 1,500 foot and ankle surgical procedures are performed annually, which provide the fellow an opportunity to participate in every aspect of foot and ankle reconstruction. Each fellow will benefit from both clinical rotations and additional time for work on an approved clinical research project. Prior to completing the fellowship, it is expected that a minimum of one paper will be prepared for publication in a peer-reviewed journal. Fellows will attend several national and local courses on foot and ankle, will meet weekly to discuss upcoming surgical procedures, and will attend a monthly journal club and research meeting for the foot and ankle staff. While the fellows are not primarily responsible for resident education, the fellows are involved with residency programs at OhioHealth Doctors Hospital and Grant Medical Center. Each fellow takes call, is responsible for inpatient care, and is allocated 7 days of vacation and 5 days of CME for a total of 12 days off during their one-year training.
