HD in Chiropody

Michener offers Canada’s only English-taught Chiropody program. The program integrates didactic courses, hands-on practical labs, simulated clinical training and clinical practice right from the start of the program. Students study the anatomy of the lower extremity, dissection, clinical pharmacology, pathophysiology and biomechanics of the lower limb and gait cycle. Under the supervision of licensed chiropodists in Michener’s on-site Chiropody clinic, students have the opportunity to treat patients. This hands-on experience allows them to practice and build upon their patient-care skills and procedural techniques, including podiatric soft tissue surgery, injections, biomechanics, wound care and radiology. In addition, students complete specialized external clinical placements where they gain additional real-world practice. Graduates from this program are eligible to write the College of Chiropodists of Ontario provincial registration exam. Success in the exam is a requirement to practice as a licensed chiropodist in Ontario.
