Canadian Association of Foot Care Nurses
The Canadian Association of Foot Care Nurses is an organization formed by practicing Foot Care Nurses from across Canada.
PLEASE NOTE: At this time there is no certification process for nursing foot care in Canada that is recognized by provincial
regulatory bodies. CAFCN is in the process of developing national competencies, educational opportunities, and a certification
process for foot care nurses across Canada.
CAFCN is not affiliated with, and does not endorse, any certification process currently being offered in Canada.
