Andrew Etheridge, MFA, CCA, CFo, CPed, CFm
Instructor
Mr. Etheridge is an Instructor in the department, teaching courses in the Clinical Anaplastology Master of Science program offered through the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine Department of Art as Applied to Medicine.
Andrew comes to Hopkins with 10-years of experience in the field of clinical anaplastology, creating custom facial and somatic prosthetics. His services provide treatment options to patients for whom surgical reconstruction alone cannot restore facial features or the appearance of limbs and digits. His custom prosthetic devices allow patients to resume activities of daily living.
Andrew has collaborated with orthopedic and hand surgeons from Duke University and faculty in the School of Dentistry at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in challenging reconstructive cases. He creates craniofacial devices including prostheses for large facial defects, custom cranioplasty implants, surgical guides/models, mandible prostheses, and graduated ocular conformers for pediatric patients. Andrew is one of few practitioners worldwide holding credentials in anaplastology as well as mastectomy care, pedorthics, and orthotic fitting.
Andrew received his MFA from University of North Carolina at Greensboro and has completed extensive postgraduate clinical training. He has served as the Director of the Board for the International Anaplastology Association (IAA) and currently serves as Vice President of the Board for Certification in Clinical Anaplastology (BCCA).
