Dr. Pam Eerniss attended Dr. William M. Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine where she graduated Cum Laude and completed a foot and ankle surgical residency at Norwegian Hospital.
For over two decades, Dr. Eernisse has been at the forefront of empowering women in the medical field. With her entrepreneurial spirit she established two podiatric medical practices; her first practice 22
years ago, Forestmed Podiatry and Michigan Avenue Podiatry which she opened 13 years ago and recently sold. In 2010, Dr. Eernisse co-founded a homeless foot clinic at St. Paul’s Church in Chicago that still exits today.
Now, Dr. Eernisse is thrilled to be apart of Foot Specialists of South Mississippi, under the guidance of Dr. Charles Caplis. This exciting collaboration marks a fresh chapter in her mission to enhance healthcare for all.
As the Secretary of the Mississippi Podiatric Medical Association Board, Dr. Eernisse actively shapes the future of podiatric medicine, advocating for her field and inspiring the next generation of female leaders.
To young female entrepreneurs, she shares her powerful mantra: “Be confident and know your worth. When women lead, businesses flourish. The more women in leadership roles, the more respect we earn in the business community.”
