For All Your Podiatry Needs
Podiatrist doctors are highly qualified medical professionals that specialise in diagnosing, treating and studying medical disorders of the lower leg, ankle and foot. Getting to the level of expertise that allows a podiatrist to practise is not easy. Let’s take a further look into this occupation pathway.
To become a podiatrist, one needs to complete a four-year Master of Podiatric Practice degree or a Bachelor of Podiatry degree. Course content includes theoretical and practical lessons as well as clinical placement experience. Specialisations and further studies in areas such as paediatric and sports podiatry are also available after graduation.
Once one qualifies as a podiatrist or chiropodist, he or she will need to register with the podiatry board in the state they wish to practise in. Most podiatrists are required to continue their education and test their expertise to continue their practice.
