IGNITE YOUR CAREER.

Hi, I’m Dr. Femi Ayeni.

In just over 10 years in practice as a busy orthopaedic surgeon, I have built a career as an internationally renowned surgeon and scientist, with over 400 publications, 15 book chapters, and a Canada Research Chair, all while maintaining a full-time clinical practice and a busy family life with my wife and 4 young children.

How did I achieve this much this fast? I founded Notch Academy to show you just that.
