Foot care training

Foot Care for Salon Professionals by Dr. Oscar Mixx published by Malady Press ( I think) Look on Amazon.com. Great book, should be called Foot Care for Health Care Professionals. WAY beyond the scope of practice for pedicurists. I took an 8 hour class by him that was great and was given at a trade show for the Cosmetology Professionals in Sacramento last year. Good luck!

but don't you think it's a little scarry that salon workers are attempting procedures beyond simple pedicures?

Is this the book? It must be and looks great. I will have to take some time to ponder it.

Thanks Laura for the insight.

Laura and nightengale,

That's the same book I bought. It is a good one. The one I really wanted was out of stock on amazon, something about foot care for nurse practitioners. But the salon one helped me when I was going up to canada for my training in foot care, I read what I could on the plane ride. It was very easy to follow and had some good information in it.

Thanks Tutti:

I appreciate your comment too. It is nice to hear a personal recomendation.

When did you take the seminar? Do you think it was worth it?

I took my foot care training a few years ago, and I also go to an annual foot care seminar here in washington for nurses put on by the podiatry association. I just like to keep up on things and learn as much as i can about foot care. The training in canada was definitely worth it for me.

Thanks Tutti:

When is the next conference? It sounds like you are a member or afiliate member, is that right?

Nightngale,

The conference is usually around October each year and is for a two day weekend. You can find info. on the washington podiatry association website. I can't remember the address, but you could probably find it easily with a search. I'm not really a member, anyone can go. It's directed towards nurses doing foot care, but I've seen all kinds of people go in different professions. Hope this is helpful. I just met with my bosses at work, and they want me to find a way to do just foot care only, and hire someone else to do my other duties. So, I'm praying I can come through with all the clients I will need to bring in to maintain a full time job.

Tutti:

Are you doing the foot care in your own business as a partner? I hope so.

Do you mind my asking what your rates are? Are you well supported in the community with referrals from other physicans? Do you accept medicaid?

Thank you so much for your post.
