Program details
Overview
Teaching blends simulated clinical training, hands-on practical labs, classroom courses and clinical practice from the start of the programme. The curriculum covers lower-extremity anatomy, dissection, clinical pharmacology, pathophysiology, and biomechanics covering the lower limb and gait cycle. With supervision from licensed chiropodists in an on-site clinic, students treat patients and build procedural skills such as podiatric soft-tissue surgery, injections, wound care, biomechanics and radiology, followed by external clinical placements for further real-world practice. Graduates can sit the College of Chiropodists of Ontario's provincial registration exam, required to practise as a licensed chiropodist in Ontario.
