BSc(Hons) Podiatric Medicine: University of East London

About the programme

Podiatric medicine is the study of the foot and lower limb in health and disease. This programme has been designed to provide a smooth and progressive transition from the study of basic clinical sciences, moving through to the demands of acute and chronic medicine, culminating in clinical practice based on the reflective practitioner model and using evidence to support clinical nterventions. Consequently, theory and practice are integrated throughout the programme.
