The importance of early detection to ensure men live longer and healthier lives will be highlighted by staff and students in the podiatric medicine program at Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Albury-Wodonga on Monday 30 November.The message of early detection for men is being endorsed by the University's Associate Professor Paul Tinley, clinical educator Mr Brent Smith and 4th year Bachelor of Podiatry student Mr Matthew Bence.At CSU's Community Engagement and Wellness Centre from 11am, the trio will push the men's health message during a 'shave off' of their moustaches grown over the last month as part of the Movember campaign.The annual global campaign highlights prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and physical inactivity. Associate Professor Tinley said, "It's important men talk about their health and their concerns with their health practitioners. '"Men's futures will be much brighter if there is early detection of cancers like prostate cancer with a blood test. Men get tested.  "As health professionals, podiatrists see a lot of older men with foot health problems. We often see patients for 30 minute appointments and therefore can share valuable information and support their needs."We are educating podiatrists to have the skills in a whole range of health concerns including diabetes, cancer, and men's and women's health issues."The Community Engagement and Wellness Centre is a valuable addition to the Albury Wodonga community with podiatry, physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy students learning through working in real life clinics. The clinics are open to the public. For appointments, telephone (02) 6051 9299.
