Chronic disease - case study

Contemporary issues - case study

First Nations health and wellbeing - case study

Students are expected to have knowledge of a broad range of fields relevant to podiatry practice and understand current podiatric management practice relevant to diverse groups of people.

<p>This subject will explore current themes in podiatry practice with a focus on the complexity of client presentations. Students will be supported to further develop skills in clinical reasoning as preparation for independent practice. Students will integrate and apply knowledge to evaluate a series of complex case scenarios, enabling reflection on their learning and professional development. Contemporary issues relevant to this subject include: chronic disease; ageing well and health promotion; First Nations health and wellbeing; the management of children and young people; and the appropriate use of non-pharmaceutical and pharmaceutical treatment options to facilitate integrated care. Case scenarios will focus on a range of commonly presenting pathology within podiatric practice and students will be expected to apply clinical reasoning in order to evaluate the needs of the person and their family/carers; justify an appropriate diagnosis; facilitate a culturally responsive management plan; and enable effective communication with all stakeholders to ensure culturally safe practice. Decision making relevant to each of the complex case scenarios will be informed by the student&#39;s workplace learning experience during the course and the evidence base. Students will also be required to demonstrate reflection on their learning and its relevance to future clinical practice.</p>

<p>Restricted to students enrolled in the Bachelor Podiatric Medicine and the Bachelor Podiatric Medicine (Honours).</p>
