Universal safety standards for routine foot care
ACMFCE certifies the professionals, facilities and products that keep foot care sterile, safe and accountable — across podiatry, nursing and cosmetology.
About the American College of Medical Foot Care & Esthetics
The American College of Medical Foot Care & Esthetics (ACMFCE) was formed to promote universal safety standards for the sterile, effective treatment of routine foot care — covering the sterile protective environment, safety in foot care work areas, and foot product safety.
Public awareness of how readily infection passes from one person to another has only sharpened since the COVID-19 pandemic. Protecting the public and preventing harm is now critical. Certify yourself as a business or a professional today.
