In January, 2014, I was privileged to be part of the North American School of Podology's four-day footcare clinic to help over 900 people living on the island of St. Kitts with skin and nail-related foot problems.
My team, led by NASP founder Dr. Katharin von Gavel, was comprised of 60 dedicated doctors, nurses, estheticians, pedicurists, and support staff. The team also included thirty-two members of the graduating students who had completed their residency program for the Bachelor of Science in Podology. I was part of that group and honored to be part of this dynamic and unique opportunity to give back.
We offered foot care for diabetics and a host of other conditions, including extreme rough and dry skin, painful cracked heels, and severely thickened toenails. Part of the service included education on proper footwear and home care.
I will never forget this life-changing experience or the feeling of pride that I was able to serve and put my education to such good use.
I'd like to share a few photos with you of this amazing team!
