Charles Sturt University’s (CSU) Allied Health Clinic this week celebrates five years serving the people of Albury-Wodonga and surrounding districts. Since 19 February 2003, the clinic has treated over 4 000 clients, mostly with foot and associated conditions. “And just as important, over 70 future podiatrists have received a well supervised, practical education in podiatry as they have worked in the clinic as part of their coursework,” said CSU Clinic manager, Mr Matt Austin. “The clinic is a vital part of CSU’s podiatry course as our students receive close supervision from qualified CSU staff in a hands-on, practical setting. Our graduates, who are very likely to be employed in rural and regional Australia, can start working as podiatrists with confidence in their skills and knowledge.” The clinic is now calling for new patients who will be assessed and treated by podiatry students under the supervision of qualified podiatrists.
