Hi all I am very keen on doing the podiatry surgery training but have just found out that the Australian College of Podiatry Surgeons ACPS no longer recognise the course at the Uni of Western Australia. They only recognise the overseas programmes in the UK and don't fancy moving back there. Anyone know if another programme will start over here and in Victoria? Seems so hard to get into it!!

ajs604,

ANZPAC, not ACPS accredit courses re: Podiatry and Podiatric Surgery

The ACPS website approved courses haven't been updated for quite some time (2009 looking at the page) which was before National Registration.

ANZPAC lists UWA and ACPS as accredited programs of study

PodBA also have this to say:

Process for Application for Specialist Registration of Podiatric Surgeons

Qualifications accepted by the Podiatry Board of Australia for consideration towards eligibility for specialist recognition in podiatric surgery are:

Fellowship or eligibility for Fellowship of the Australasian College of Podiatric Surgeons
Doctor of Clinical Podiatry, University of Western Australia
Applicants who seek to attain registration as a podiatric surgeon in Australia must first gain general registration as a podiatrist with the Podiatry Board of Australia.

If applicants do not have a qualification accepted by the Podiatry Board of Australia for specialist recognition as a podiatric surgeon, they are advised to contact the Australasian College of Podiatric Surgeons (ACPS) to assess their eligibility for Fellowship of the Australasian College of Podiatric Surgeons.
