How much manual dexterity /practical skills do I need to have to be a podiatrist?
The podiatry course is hands-on and requires effective use of scalpels, scissors, joint measurement instruments, and eventually the use of hypodermic needles. The course structure is such that these manual dexterity skills are developed by students over each session.Competency assessment is used at the end of each session to ensure each new skill is evaluated before students are allowed to treat patients.
