presenting real life case studies from
beginning to end. No matter how good you
are, if you don’t promote your value and
your worth, it will be very hard for you to be
successful as a pedorthist.
Pedorthist needs to continue to push
forward to be recognized as part of the total
medical team approach to foot care. We, as
pedorthists, have continued opportunities
every day to educate about shoe design, shoe
and foot function, technology and research
to continue improving pedorthic awareness
within the medical community. There is
no better way to establish credibility than to
actually be able to do what you say you are
going to do.
Don’t be afraid to step out on faith and
do something special to help people along
life’s journey. Being patient, learn to listen,
be thankful, dream big and never give up.
Believe in yourself, your purpose and the
pedorthic profession. It will get you to where
you want to go in life as a professional.
Remember, no one cares how much you
know until they know how much you care!!!”
–Donna Robertson.
It’s no surprise many of us look up to Ms.
Robertson, as she is a renowned pedorthist
in the eyes of many. She is a living example
of the strength and struggle that women
in pedorthics face. We can all learn from
her experience and expertise. Luckily for
PFA members, we’ll be seeing more of Ms.
Robertson. She has graciously offered to
continue to provide pedorthic education
through webinars and symposium lectures in
the future.
