  • Location

    London

Overview
The course is designed and suitable for qualified podiatrists with clinical experience and an interest in sports medicine. It is a very practical course with a multidisciplinary approach to patient management, so it should also appeal to those who want to enhance their clinical knowledge and expertise. It is taught in tandem with the other MSc routes (medics, physiotherapists and osteopaths) and allows integration across the differing clinical backgrounds.
This programme is based on the philosophy that the total care for the athlete requires a multidisciplinary approach underpinned by evidenced based medicine.
Successful candidates will have the opportunity in the future, possibly as early as 2018, to sit a Fellowship examination in Podiatric Sports Medicine, which will be awarded by The Directorate of Podiatric Medicine, College of Podiatry, London.
The programme is delivered within Sports and Exercise Medicine (SEM) that is part of the William Harvey Research Institute at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL),. This places the programme at the forefront of provision of Podiatric Sports Medicine (PSM) within the UK. Working in sport is a largely practical discipline and the programme's emphasis lies firmly on regular clinical experience. Students will benefit from regular contact with all members of Sports and Exercise Medicine team at QMUL, as well as visiting clinicians and lecturers who are experienced Sports Medicine specialists.
Lectures are delivered by national and international experts; from cutting edge basic scientists to podiatric surgeons, sports physicians, physiotherapists and other health professionals working with world-class athletes. Our staff will work closely with students on the MSc route to nurture potential research interests and with all podiatry students to develop their clinical ability in Sports and Exercise Medicine. t.

Course programme

Structure

Sport and Exercise Medicine is available to study to MSc, PG Diploma or PG Certificate level, full-time for one year, or part-time from two to four years.

A specific PG Certificate in Podiatric Sports Medicine has also been developed with a practical focus and based around 4 core modules.

To achieve the PG Diploma you will take eight taught modules, building on the core modules.

To achieve the MSc you will additionally need to complete a research project (equivalent to four modules).

For all programmes attendance of 32 clinics is required.

Full-time

Undertaking a masters programme is a serious commitment, with weekly contact hours being in addition to numerous hours of independent learning and research needed to progress at the required level. When coursework or examination deadlines are approaching independent learning hours may need to increase significantly. Please contact the course convenor for precise information on the number of contact hours per week for this programme.

Part-time

Part-time study options often mean that the number of modules taken is reduced per semester, with the full modules required to complete the programme spread over two academic years. Teaching is generally done during the day and part-time students should contact the course convenor to get an idea of when these teaching hours are likely to take place. Timetables are likely to be finalised in September but you may be able to gain an expectation of what will be required.
