CSN501 Podiatric Therapeutics 2

This is the second unit in the Podiatric Therapeutics course and is a work integrated learning (WIL) unit. This unit builds on the theoretical concepts introduced in Podiatric Therapeutics 1 (CSN500) and requires a sound understanding of physiology, disease processes, medicine, pharmacology and pharmacotherapeutics. The unit provides you with a practical understanding of the use of scheduled medicines in the therapeutic management of foot and related lower limb disorders. Podiatrists make therapeutic decisions that require consideration of legal, ethical, financial, pharmacological, medical and patient factors before delivering the most efficacious, safe and appropriate treatment, including no treatment. This unit will equip you with the skills necessary to utilise scheduled medicines in clinical practice, including how and when collaboration with members of the health care team is required and how to access appropriate information resources to guide therapy.
