Career
Since 2003, Feuer has served as Chief Surgeon of the Florida Highway Patrol.[5] A sworn auxiliary state trooper, he reached the rank of lieutenant colonel, and became the Patrol's first Chief Surgeon.[6][7][8] In this role, he expanded the Patrol's peer support program and became a national champion for the use of evidence-based practice in first responder peer support.[9][10]. As a law enforcement officer and physician, Feuer was appointed to the Department of Homeland Security Active Shooter Situational Working Group and contributed to the publication: Incorporating Active Shooter Incident Planning into Health Care Facility Emergency Operation Plans.[11] Feuer also participated as a subject matter expert in the Department of Health and Human Services/ASPR Workshop on Critical Infrastructure HPH Sector Risk Assessment.[12]
During his tenure as President of the Palm Beach County Medical Society, Feuer played a key role in responding to bioterrorism risks during the 2001 anthrax attacks at American Media in Boca Raton, Florida. On October 2, 2001, Robert Stephens, photo editor for the supermarket tabloid publishing company, was admitted to JFK Medical Center, where an initial diagnosis of possible anthrax was made by Dr. Larry Bush, his attending physician. Multiple tests were rapidly conducted by county and state labs, and ultimately by the CDC in Atlanta; meanwhile, Mr. Stevens's condition worsened, and he died October 5.
In recognition of his efforts and accomplishments, Feuer was bestowed with the honorary designation as a Fellow of the American College of Osteopathic Family Physicians[13]
