The major will also include studies on aspects of Australian society and culture, including Aboriginal health and migrant and refugee health. It also contains foundational learning about the role of a podiatrist and introduces the student to pre-clinical practical podiatry training.

This major involves detailed study of the life and health sciences, particularly podiatric health science, lower limb anatomy and physiology. Students will begin to develop their practical clinical skills by working in both simulated clinical laboratory environments in and functioning clinical spaces to learn and practice various podiatric clinical skills.

There is an strong emphasis on professional identity and engaging in professionalism in practice – which is threaded longitudinally through level three of the major. Discipline specific units in level three of this extended major include – body systems, anatomy and cutaneous science, biomechanics, research and evidence in practice, clinical podiatric practice and pharmacotherapeutics for podiatrists.
