Canadian podiatrist has expert foot in CSU door

1 JANUARY 2003

The new Clinical Director of Charles Sturt University’s (CSU) Allied Health Clinic has landed in Albury-Wodonga with a wealth of professional and academic experience from Canada. Prior to taking up this position with CSU School of Community Health, podiatrist Mr Steven Cassel taught for 10 years in the podiatry program at the Michener Institute in Toronto, Canada, where he developed and managed the on-campus student clinic, which is similar to the CSU clinic in Albury. Mr Cassel said the Michener clinic had chiropractic and naturopathic medicine working together in it, which made students more open to and inclusive of how other allied health professions worked. “I am excited to be working in a similar environment, working with physiotherapists and occupational therapists in the CSU clinic.” Mr Cassel specialises in biomechanics and is looking forward to passing on his expertise to students in treating sports injuries and musculoskeletal problems as well as in wound care and care of the high risk foot, particularly with complications due to diabetes and ulcers. Mr Cassel is also completing a Masters degree through CSU.
