During my undergraduate degree at UWA I decided to continue on with postgraduate study, choosing a Doctor of Podiatric Medicine knowing the facilities and the opportunities that are presented to students. Podiatry as a career for me provides a comprehensive scope of practice in a specialised area of foot and ankle conditions, including paediatrics, sports medicine, diabetic care, minor surgical procedures and more.
One of the enjoyable aspects of studying Podiatric Medicine is the student cohort and staff become like a tight knit community and within the Podiatric clinic where the students spend a lot of their time, the professors, tutors and lecturers are approachable and supportive whilst providing guidance in a clinical setting.
Throughout my time at UWA, I have made lasting friendships which will be invaluable in years to come and I have also surpassed my personal academic expectations. After I graduate, I am excited for the prospects of a life-long career in Podiatry and eventually owning my own practice knowing UWA has prepared me with the expertise and knowledge to do so.
