Hi, I'm Michelle De Grandmont: RPN, Foot Care Nurse Educator.
I'm a bilingual registered nurse. I have taken advanced diabetic foot care nurse training. My work experience includes over 15 years of experience in gerontology, acute care medicine, diabetes, and holistic healing modalities. I was an educator at Algonquin College, where I developed an innovative and highly successful advanced diabetic foot care program. With the closing of the Algonquin program in 2018, Foot Canada Training partnered with me to lead their Ottawa Foot Care Nurse Clinical courses and advanced skills workshops.
In 2021, I became the Assistant Director of Nursing and am eagerly looking forward to impacting nursing education and curriculum standards. I'm a frequent motivational speaker on best practice adherence in nursing foot care and I work hard to keep the best practices in the community and advancing foot care nursing as a specialty. I'm an advisor for The Canadian Association of Foot Care Nurses, where I've worked on the development of the National Foot Care Nurse Competencies Document and The Education Initiative.
I'm looking forward to connecting with you!
