RADIOLOGY ROTATION

Catalog description

Clinical rotations function by adapting and applying classroom information to real life, “hands-on” situations. A majority of foot complaints necessitate the taking and the reading of radiographs. As specialists of the foot and ankle, podiatrists are in a unique situation in being able to take and interpret radiographs in their own offices. Radiographic analysis is therefore an integral component of podiatric medical education. The Radiology rotation focuses on those skills commonly performed by the podiatrist. This includes positioning and developing radiographs along with recognizing the most common pedal pathologies.
