What others are saying
I have done placements in Broken Hill, APY Lands and Port Lincoln. The rural placements were really enjoyable as they allowed me to see a different range of clinical cases that I may not get to see in metropolitan areas.
Jane Bowden
Bachelor of Podiatry
I did placements in the University of South Australia Podiatry Clinic and in external organisations in both metropolitan and rural settings. These placements, along with the weekly clinic sessions, equipped me with the confidence and experience needed when entering the workforce.
Arnold Hu
Bachelor of Podiatry
Completing Honours opened up opportunities for me. I was able to explore a topic in detail and was fortunate enough to be introduced to established and enthusiastic researchers within the University.
