I cannot express enough gratitude for Janis Boudreau, who has been an incredible mentor and support in my footcare business. Janis's generosity, patience, and willingness to share her vast knowledge have been a true blessing. In an industry where competition often creates barriers, Janis stands out as a beacon of collaboration and support. Her guidance has been paramount to my success, and I truly believe I would not be where I am today without her advice and encouragement. Janis is not just knowledgeable and skilled; she is also passionate, caring, and genuinely invested in the success of her colleagues. I am lucky to now call her one of my best friends. I am deeply thankful to have her in my corner, and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a mentor who truly makes a difference.

About AFCN Learning Institute

The Practice Behind the Education

AFCN Learning Institute was built by Janis Boudreau, RPN β€” an Ontario foot care nurse and CEO who runs three operating foot care clinics with a team of 15+ practicing nurses. Our hands-on clinical training takes place at partner clinics in every Canadian province, taught by working foot care nurses who own thriving practices of their own.

This isn't education from a podium. It's education from inside the work.

"Real foot care nursing happens in real clinics. The education should come from there too."
