During his residency, he completed numerous additional surgical training courses with an emphasis on adult and pediatric reconstructive surgery, external fixation, ankle arthroscopy, lower extremity trauma, and diabetic limb salvage.

In 2007, Dr. MacGill was selected for the prestigious AO International Trauma Fellowship with Sigvard Hansen, Jr., MD, Chairman Emeritus-Orthopedics at the University of Washington’s School of Medicine.  Dr. MacGill completed his fellowship in the spring of 2009, gaining additional training in total ankle replacement as well as complex Charcot foot and ankle reconstruction.
