National Competencies for Nursing Foot Care

Certification Information
CAFCN recognizes the importance of nursing certification for:
1. The public (client safety, helps the public to recognize a nurse who is competent in a specialty)
2. Individual nurse (shows employers, colleagues, and clients that a nurse is a dedicated and competent professional)
3. The profession (CNA, 2023; Williams & Counts, 2013)
It is the goal of CAFCN to promote the highest standard of advanced foot care nursing in Canada through supporting the development, implementation, coordination, and evaluation of all aspects of the certification and recertification process. We are working towards this goal and making significant progress in this area.
