    Hello
    Does anyone here know of any podiatrists who have left clinical practice for other roles?
    What fields would complement a podiatrist?
    I’d assume rehabilitation counselling, occupational health and case work could be potential exit options for pods.

    After only a couple of years in clinical practice, I realised that it was not for me. After 5 years I got a position teaching at a school of pod and then evolved via tertiary study to eventually become an anatomist. Over very many years (like ~40), I have watched students of many disciplines evolve into a new organism, including pods into (eg), drug reps, GP's, surgeons, teachers. Your sky is your limit: you decide what you want to do, and then go there................
