What it covers
You will gain an understanding of your role as a podiatrist within the larger interprofessional healthcare setting. Through supervised practice, you will have the opportunity to apply your podiatry knowledge and skills in assessment, treatment and client education within a simulated setting. You will be exposed to professional, ethical and legal aspects of podiatry care and you will have opportunities to develop technical, clinical, personal and professional skills. The skills you develop in this unit will help you develop the competencies required for independent practice as a podiatrist.
