Dr. Morgan becomes Fellow of the
American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons
Released: October 7, 2010
Jon R. Morgan, DPM, has been named a Fellow of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons (FACFAS), joining an elite group of physicians.
The ACFAS reserves Fellow membership status for foot and ankle surgeons who earn board certification from the American Board of Podiatric Surgery (ABPS). Morgan was recently board certified in both Foot Surgery & Reconstructive Rearfoot/Ankle Surgery.
Dr. Morgan's path to board certification and ACFAS Fellow membership began when he earned his Bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences from University of Missouri-Rolla. He then attended the William M. Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine at the Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science where he received his Doctorate training. Following a three year surgical residency at INOVA Fairfax Hospital in Falls Church, VA, Morgan passed the ABPS’ rigorous written examination to become board qualified. As a board qualified foot and ankle surgeon, Morgan met the requirements for ACFAS Associate membership. He continued on his journey toward board certification by submitting patient cases to the ABPS. This process can last as long as seven years. After the certifying board’s detailed review of these cases, Dr. Morgan finally sat for his oral examination in Chicago this last June . After passing the oral exams, Morgan achieved board certification in both Foot surgery and Reconstructive Rearfoot/Ankle Surgery.
“Dr. Morgan's patients are being treated by a foot and ankle surgeon who has dedicated years of his education, training and experience to achieving this prestigious Fellow membership status,” says Daniel J. Hatch, DPM, FACFAS, president of the ACFAS.
The ACFAS is a professional society of more than 6,000 foot and ankle surgeons. Founded in 1942, the College’s mission is to promote research and provide continuing education for the foot and ankle surgical specialty, and to educate the general public on foot health and conditions of the foot and ankle through its consumer website, FootHealthFacts.org.
Foot and ankle surgeons provide comprehensive medical and surgical care for a wide variety of foot and ankle conditions including common to complex disorders and injuries that affect people of all ages.
ACFAS members are uniquely qualified to detect the early stages of diseases that exhibit warning signs in the lower extremities, such as diabetes, arthritis and cardiovascular disease, and manage foot conditions which may pose an ongoing threat to a patient's overall health.
Dr. Morgan sees patients in Pratt, Dodge City, Greensburg, Medicine Lodge, Kingman, Coldwater and Alva, OK. To schedule an appointment with Dr. Morgan, please call the South Central Kansas Bone and Joint Center at (620) 672-1002. |
