About Us

Our Values

The Ontario Foot Care Association (OFCA) values its partnerships with educational providers who offer advanced post-graduate continuing education tailored to practitioners' entry-to-practice competencies. These partnerships support the development of a solid foundation for careers in medical foot and lower limb care. Our commitment to high-quality education ensures that PodOrtho® Foot Specialists acquire the theoretical knowledge, clinical skills, and professional judgment required to practice safely and competently within their individual scopes of practice. Our Resource Care Partners play a vital role in advancing the field by providing education, equipment, instruments, and products that empower practitioners to deliver exceptional foot and lower limb care. These partnerships support professionals in serving Ontario’s and Canada’s active, growing, and aging populations effectively. Health care providers benefit from collaboration with experts in this specialized field through access to ongoing advocacy, educational resources, and supportive tools. Our members contribute significantly to community care, aligning with provincial government initiatives to improve access to health services and reduce the burden on public health care institutions. By keeping communities mobile, pain-free, and thriving, our practitioners help enhance overall health-related quality of life for the populations they serve.

We support our PodOrtho® Foot Specialist members to succeed while they provide quality client care with a Regulated Health Care Providers caring approach.

To address privacy considerations, we encourage individuals seeking a PodOrtho® Foot Specialist to contact the Ontario Foot Care Association directly at [email protected]. Our team will promptly provide practitioner contact information for your area.
