Education. Research. Innovation: A Chartiers Valley Alumni Story

Educator. Research. Innovator. Those are just three of the words you could use to describe Chartiers Valley graduate Brian Donley, M.D. 

When Dr. Donley graduated from Chartiers Valley High School in 1982, he knew he wanted to be a chemical engineer or a doctor. Ultimately deciding to become a doctor, Dr. Donley pursued a premed major at Notre Dame and then went to the University of Michigan Medical School. Upon graduating from Medical School, he began his residency in orthopaedic surgery at the University of Michigan followed by a fellowship in orthopaedic foot and ankle surgery at the Campbell Clinic, University of Tennessee. Dr. Donley completed his fellowship and joined the Cleveland Clinic’s Orthopaedic and Rheumatologic Institute in 1996. 

“The Cleveland Clinic was a great match for me because I could practice foot and ankle orthopaedics and be involved with teaching, research and innovation.”
