Four years full-time. Honours runs concurrently with the fourth year of the course. The course concentrates on the theoretical basis of podiatry and its clinical practice. It also encompasses general subjects such as anatomy, physiology, biomechanics and research methods, as well as specific medical and health science studies, including dermatology, neurology, paediatrics, gerontology and radiographic interpretation.
Clinical practice is a feature of study throughout the course.
During the first two years studies include basic human biosciences subjects, psychology and sociology, and professional subjects. The third and fourth year studies include external clinical rotations and block placements. The major emphasis in this year is on an integrated and holistic approach to the provision of patient care. Areas of study include medicine, surgery, radiology and advanced human mechanics. A demonstrable interest in the discipline may also be taken into account.
