This course aims to give students skills and knowledge related to the prevention and treatment of disorders of the foot and ankle, through practical experience in podiatry. As well as covering common healthcare problems, students will learn about podiatry treatment involved in complex medical conditions such as diabetes or rheumatoid arthritis. The curriculum encompasses specialized areas of podiatry such as sports injuries, pediatrics and surgery. Extensive clinical training helps students to apply theoretical knowledge: students will treat patients in specialized on-campus clinical teaching environments, and do external placements at hospitals, health centers and private practices.
