Spine surgery was the most interesting one to me, says Dr. Steven Cyr, even when it is considered the most complex one. In 1992, Dr. Cyr entered medical school on a United States Air Force scholarship. As he graduated, he started working in the Air Force at Wilford Hall Medical Center. He was a flight surgeon for the next two years and had begun his orthopaedic residency program with due permission from the Air Force.

Dr. Cyr chose spine surgery as his scope of study and was granted the single fellowship for spine surgery. It was the most complicated and intimidating specialty for many but Dr. Cyr found it the most interesting one. One can understand his passion and dedication for the study in spine surgery as he was the only fellow from the country to get the Mayo Clinic fellowship in spine surgery.

Dr. Cyr served as the chief of Air Force Spine Surgery and the spine surgery consultant to the Surgeon General of the Air Force after completion of the fellowship. He worked in the position for six years and then rose to the rank of lieutenant colonel and deployed twice to the Air Force Theater Hospital in Balad, Iraq.

Not only as a surgeon, but Dr. Cyr has also worked as an assistant professor of surgery for the Uniformed Services University for the Health Sciences and trained many orthopaedic residents and physician assistant fellows while at Wilford Hall. Teaching is one of his passions that he is pursuing till today. He is a preceptor for UT Health providing clinical and surgical guidance to students in the physician assistant program.
