NOVA SCOTIA PODIATRY ASSOCIATION

Our members work in a variety of settings including: private clinics, hospitals and nursing homes. We serve many governmental agencies as consultants and clinicians as well as the general public. In the absence of legislative regulation for podiatry, the term "Dr." is used only followed by the title "podiatry" or "podiatrist" which reflects the practice in regulated provinces. The NSPA has the same competency and credential requirements as the majority of provinces across Canada for membership. This ensures that when the public seek treatment from a member of the NSPA they are being seen by appropriately trained individuals... Our mission is to promote and advance the profession of podiatric medicine, to establish protocols for the continuous improvement in the quality of the patient experience and to advance the competencies of our members and the care of our patients... Excellent, professional foot care for our patients is the commitment of each member of the Nova Scotia Podiatry..
