Course content

This online, self-paced course contains a series of 15 case studies that cover a range of patient pathologies and prescription medicine scenarios that might commonly be seen by a prescribing podiatrist. You wil have access to the cases for a 12 week period from registration.  

Check the Podiatry Board of Australia website to ensure that you are eligible to participate - you will need an appropriate level of undergraduate or postgraduate pharmacology.  

Completing this task is a requirement of the Endorsed Scheduled Medicines (ESM) Program as governed by the Podiatry Board of Australia.  The course assessment comprises of multiple choice quizz relating to the 15 prescribing scenaries, with a required pass mark of 80%.  Re-assessement or an extension to the course duration will incur a $50 fee. 

These case studies, and assessment have been approved and accredited by the Podiatry Board of Australia (2019 - 2022) as part of the educational process for podiatrists seeking endorsed prescribing status in Australia. 

Before you start work in this short course, we recommend that you have access to appropriate resources. Namely, current editions of:

  • Therapeutic Guidelines
  • The Australian Medicines Handbook (AMH)
  • AusDI or MIMS
  • Pharmacology textbook (e.g. Pharmacology for Health Professions [Bryant and Knights])
  • Notes from your studies in an approved podiatric therapeutics course; and
  • Access to the internet (for regularly revised and updated web-based resources such as the Australian Prescriber, e-Therapeutic Guidelines and AMH online).

You’ll learn:

  • An understanding of the legal and registration requirements for endorsed podiatrist prescribing
  • Discuss the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, uses and contraindications medicines available to endorsed podiatrists
  • Undertake and justify prescriptions of restricted medicines for a given patient.
