He completed extensive training at multiple leading centers including a burn fellowship at the Shriners Hospital for Burns in Galveston, a plastic surgery residency at Duke University, a craniofacial fellowship at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, and a research fellowship at Harvard. 

Dr. Fisher is a national and international leader in burn care, and founded and chaired the American Burn Association (ABA) Committee on Reconstruction. He also founded and continues to lead the ABA series of burn reconstruction courses.  He is frequently invited to speak internationally and serves actively in burn-related humanitarian agencies.

Prior to joining Johns Hopkins, Dr. Fisher served in the burn unit and the hand trauma team, as well as led the craniofacial team at the University of Iowa.  Recognizing that complex injuries need coordinated care, he developed the Complex Face Group at University of Iowa to coordinate multiple specialty collaboration.

His research interests also include wound healing and scar for burns and trauma.
