373 - Podiatry Student Recruitment Research and Unity in the Profession


Regardless of the country you live in we all face the same inssues. What does the future of podiatry look like? In this episode, I speak with three influential podiatrists from the US, Dr Ben Pearl, Dr Patrick Deheer and Dr Patrick Agnew, about the profession’s past, its current challenges, and how we can inspire more students to choose podiatry as a career.

We delve into marketing strategies tailored towards potential students, the importance of ongoing research, and how to silence internal negativity and foster a more unified profession. 

7 Key Takeaways

  1. Podiatry is facing a global student recruitment challenge driven by poor public awareness, not a lack of value.

  2. A $1.5 million marketing campaign, Podiatry Moves the World, aims to change the narrative.

  3. Key target groups for recruitment in the US include MCAT takers, pre-health majors, and college athletes.

  4. The opportunity to become a surgeon before the age of 30 was a major motivator for students.

  5. Internal bickering and public negativity are harming the profession’s appeal.

  6. Lifelong learning and mentorship are essential for long-term satisfaction in the profession. 

  7. Research is vital for innovation, and solo practitioners should find collaborative partners.

371 - Biomechanics and the Future of Podiatry: Insights from Abid Ali


In this episode of the Podiatry Legends Podcast, I chat with Abid Ali, a musculoskeletal podiatrist from Coventry, UK, about his journey from the safety and predictability of the NHS to the unpredictability of private practice. Abid is the owner of the Biomechanix Clinic and also runs online courses for podiatrists

Takeaway Points:

  1. Embrace biomechanics for better patient outcomes and a holistic approach.

  2. Mentorship is crucial for professional growth and avoiding common pitfalls.

  3. A successful practice depends on combining clinical skills with sound business knowledge.

  4. Innovation and keeping up with new treatment methods are essential in today’s podiatry world.

  5. Be open to learning from other disciplines (physiotherapists, chiropractors) to expand your treatment options.

(There's an easter egg at the end of this episode, so make sure you listen to the end)
