Erin is very knowledgeable, and l am grateful for her time and continuing guidance. She is dedicated and works tirelessly for the association and its members. Since joining the OPNA, l have become a board member in hopes to help guide and educate fellow nurses as Erin has. Thank you, Erin. I appreciate all that you do.

Patricia RaveloRegistered Practical Nurse, Podortho® Foot Specialist
Exceptional learning experience. I was always worried about leaving the hospital and not getting to perform a lot of skills but this program has opened my eyes to what advanced footcare is all about. It’s not just about cutting nails, corns and callous there is so much more to becoming a footcare nurse and this programs teaches that.
Cecilia BryanPodortho® Foot Specialist
I have completed the Podortho Foot Care course and it was an amazing experience! The program was established to allow learning online, and in clinic for hands on experience. This allowed me to feel confident about the foot care service I provide to my clients. Thank you Erin and your team for allowing me this experience to start my own business.
Tammay CampbellPodortho® Foot Specialist
My mom is a patient at Feet for Life Medical and had treatment for her plantar fasciitis & heel spurs, she told me about the many treatment options and I was very interested in learning more! I found the Podortho Foot Specialist program and immediately reached out to register. Working as a nurse in the hospital was becoming overwhelming, so working as my own boss sounded great! I enjoyed how hands on the clinical training was in Barrie and how thorough the textbook is. I highly recommend becoming a Podortho Foot Specialist. I've definitely found my calling!
Scarlett MorrisRegistered Practical Nurse, Podortho® Foot Specialist
This is the best choice I ever made! I did a lot research between choose podortho nursing or regular foot care, I never regret for a second that I took this course. It gives me more options and I am more confident when I start to work independently, I think it's really benefit for the clients who come to you that they will get more suggestion and more thoroughly assessed. Also I have Erin's help all the time when I start to work alone, every time I email her with questions, she responds right away.
