Attracting young talents into the field of podiatry is paramount to the growth of podiatry as a healthcare profession in Singapore. Therefore, the Association welcomes and is actively involved in student outreach programmes such as conducting career talks for students. These efforts would help introduce podiatry as a rewarding career to the pre-university students as they decide on their career path.

“Learnt more about podiatry as a profession since it was something I didn’t even know existed previously.”
“Podiatry is a very niche profession that is often overlooked but nevertheless rewarding job in the medical industry.”
“I learnt more about how broad the scope of practice within podiatry is, as well as the education requirements to become a podiatrist.”
“I think this talk was a great way to raise more awareness about the study of podiatry and it has helped me broaden my horizons about the job itself and sparked some interest in me!”
