ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Discover a career that lets you put your best foot forward

The Michener Institute of Education at UHN offers the only
English-taught Chiropody program in Canada. We offer a rigorous
curriculum in fundamental podiatric medicine, clinical practice that integrates
didactic courses, hands-on practical labs, simulated clinical training as well
as clinical practice right from the first year of the program. Our students have
the opportunity to treat patients under the supervision of faculty (who are
licensed Chiropodists) in Michener’s on-site Chiropody clinic, giving each
student the chance to practice and build on their patient-care
skills and procedural techniques, including local anesthesia and soft tissue
surgery, biomechanics, wound care and radiology.

In addition to the on-site Chiropody clinic, students will have to complete
specialized external clinical placements where they will gain the experience of
“real life” practice, to complete the program.

To practice as a licensed Chiropodist in Ontario, individuals must be registered
with the College of Chiropodists of Ontario . Graduates from this program are
eligible to write the College’s provincial registration exam.



> “Throughout COVID-19, the Chiropody program offered flexible modes of delivery
> for its course content to maintain a comprehensive and engaging learning
> environment.”

ABOUT THE PROFESSION

A Chiropodist is a primary care professional who specializes in the assessment,
management and prevention of dysfunctions, disorders and diseases of the
foot. The foot is a complex structure and when a disorder or dysfunction affects
the foot, it can affect a person’s overall quality of
life. Chiropodists can help a person with foot problems and significantly
improve their general health, well-being and their quality of life. A career in
Chiropody can be very rewarding and fulfilling. As a Chiropodist you can work as
an independent practitioner in a private practice setting or be an integral part
of a multidisciplinary health care team.

Chiropodists are skilled in the management of acute and chronic conditions
affecting the foot. These conditions can include diabetes, sports and traumatic
injuries, biomechanical disorders, ulcers and pediatric foot conditions. A
referral is not required to consult a Chiropodist; however, Chiropodists often
work closely with other medical professionals as part of the health care team.

Chiropodists work in a wide range of settings, including community health
centers, family health teams, long-term care facilities, hospitals, sports teams
and in private practice. The practice can be specialized to treat chronic
conditions, such as diabetic ulcers, or more general practice enabling the
practitioner to choose a specialty that interests them.


WHAT WILL I STUDY?

When you enroll in the Chiropody program, you will study topics such as anatomy
of the lower extremity, dissection, clinical pharmacology, pathophysiology and
biomechanics of the lower limb and gait cycle.

In addition to the fundamental podiatric courses, you will learn skills
including podiatric soft tissue surgery, local anesthesia, injection techniques
and the management of biochemical conditions, including orthotic therapy.

Please see detailed course descriptions on the Chiropody Curriculum page.

 


CLINICAL EDUCATION

Length: 30 weeks
Start: September
End: April

You will be assigned to clinical placement site(s) through Michener’s Office for
Clinical Education. This process begins with an information session in the
second year winter semester of your program.

During the first two years of the Chiropody program, you will have opportunities
to gain hands-on clinical experience with patients in Michener’s Chiropody
Clinic on campus.  In the third year of the program, you will be placed in
several clinical sites, including teaching and community hospitals, community
health centres or private clinics located in Ontario. During this time, you will
work under the close supervision of Chiropodists to integrate didactic knowledge
and skills into practice. Clinical placements also provide you the opportunity
to network with potential employers.

You clinical  placements are based on the required clinical competencies and the
range of services at the clinical sites. Clinical sites are subject to change
therefore, specific geographic regions may not be available at the time of your
placement and should be prepared to go to any of the clinical placement sites
you are matched with. You will be placed at sites that will be matched to meet
the competency requirements for you to graduate based on the clinical sites
available at the time of your placement.

In addition, you have to attain clinical clearance by meeting the following
mandatory requirements  and be maintained prior to the start of your clinical
placement:

 * First Aid and CPR Certification for Health Care Providers
 * N95 Mask Fit Testing
 * Updated Vulnerable Persons Check (also required upon admission)
 * Updated TB Test (also required upon admission)
 * Up to date vaccinations

As the clinical courses commence in your second semester, the above clearance
must be obtained in the first semester of the program. Michener highly
recommends all students be vaccinated with influenza vaccine.  This vaccine may
be mandatory at some clinical sites.  Students must follow clinical site
protocol.
