Biography
Biography
Kevin Feltz was born and raised in Chesterfield, Missouri, a suburb of St. Louis. He pursued his passion for science and medicine at St. Louis University (SLU), where he earned both a Bachelor's and a Master's degree in Biomedical Engineering. During his time at SLU, he developed a strong foundation in research and innovation, which led him to work as a research assistant and instructor in the BME department for a year before beginning medical school.
He earned his medical degree from the University of Missouri School of Medicine in Columbia, Missouri. While there, he assumed several leadership roles, including serving as class secretary and representing his classmates on the LCME accreditation committee, demonstrating his commitment to medical education and institutional excellence.
Following medical school, he became the inaugural Orthopaedic Surgery Research Fellow at Sanford Health in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. In this role, he contributed to multiple research projects, with a particular focus on utilizing 3D printing technologies to advance orthopaedic practice and patient care.
He is currently a Resident Physician in Orthopaedic Surgery with the University of North Dakota and Sanford Health in Fargo, North Dakota, where he continues to develop his clinical expertise while remaining engaged in research and educational initiatives.
