Canadian Federation of Podiatric Medicine

Canadian Federation of Podiatric Medicine In 2004 the Association's name changed to CFPM. Our goal is unification of the profession and representation of all chiropodists and podiatrists in Canada.

The CFPM was created in 1999 under the name CFFS by a small group of practitioners who recognized a need for a national association that was open to all chiropodists and podiatrists in Canada. We believe this would increase the profile of our profession both nationally and internationally. The CFPM strives to work towards national unity in the areas of education and qualifications. What CFPM Does:



•Liaises with government agencies and other professional associations
•Offers continuing educational opportunities
•Helps practitioners in their day to day practices
•Produces a national journal to disseminate information
•Offers public education of the role of Podiatry Promotes national Podiatric unity

👣 May is Foot Health Month 👣
And your feet can reveal more than you think!

May 3 = Check Your Skin Day
May 4 = Melanoma Monday

Reminding us that skin cancer can also appear on the feet, toes, and under the nails.

Use the ABCDE rule when checking moles or spots:
🔹A = Asymmetry
🔹B = Border irregularity
🔹C = Colour changes
🔹D = Diameter over 6mm
🔹E = Evolving over time

Take a moment to inspect your feet this month. Early detection can save lives. If you notice anything new or changing, have it assessed by a qualified professional.
