PGDip Podiatric Sports Medicine

The Podiatric Sports Medicine (PSM) programme covers detailed assessment, examination and management of sports injuries of the lower limb - especially foot, ankle and lower leg - with imaging in sports medicine to assist in supporting clinical diagnosis.

The PSM programme offers a modular structure with an innovative practical component involving clinical shadowing and mentoring. Students will be exposed to unique clinical learning opportunities, such as the monthly inter-disciplinary combined clinic, that will challenge and sharpen diagnostic skills. An interactive and supportive clinician-student relationship will be a feature of clinics on the postgraduate programme. 

Lectures are delivered by national experts; from cutting edge basic scientists to podiatrists, podiatric surgeons, physiotherapists, doctors and other health professionals working with world-class athletes, who have an international presence in Sports and Exercise Medicine. Our staff work closely with students to nurture potential research interests and to develop clinical ability in Podiatric Sports Medicine.
