Objective

Students know how to use the instruments and devices required in podiatry in a safe and proper way. They master the principles and protocols of providing services and act accordingly in the Positia service unit. Students know how to utilise assessment and therapeutic skills they have learned in client service as well as understand the podiatric process and begin to practise their clinical reasoning skills.
Students are familiar with the processes and models of clinical reasoning in order to initiate the reasoning process required by podiatric planning and treatment. Students are aware of the requisites for clinical reasoning to initiate their own development of clinical reasoning skills.

Students initiate their self-assessment process and peer evaluation in accordance with forms provided for them. They also initiate the documentation process of client reports according to given guidelines. Students are able to survey the client’s self-care habits and prioritise central education needs.

Students are able to explain the legislation and organisation of antimicrobial control in Finland. Students know the pathogenic mechanisms and causes of the most common infectious diseases occurring in their work, in particular those in the areas of skin, mucous membranes and lower extremities. Students are able to describe the functions of the antimicrobial defence system, in particular at cellular level in blood and lymph. Students know the transmission routes of pathogenic microbes and are capable of describing the clinical picture and symptoms of the most common infectious diseases as well as the basics of protection against microbial infections in their profession.
