Pod Fit Podiatry

Hello final year Podiatry students 👋🏻

Hi I’m Melissa Zacharia. I’ve been a podiatrist for 15 years, and I still remember being a final year student… and a nervous new grad.

At uni? 3 clients in a morning.
First day as a grad? 18 patients. My first client wanted nail care, callus treatment, an orthotic re-cover and a diabetes foot assessment 😅

Confidence doesn’t magically appear when you graduate. It’s formed with the right support, clinical exposure, and people who genuinely have your back and want you to succeed.

That’s why we created our 2026 Final Year Podiatry Internship at Pod Fit Podiatry ✨

We’re opening 6 positions for final year students who don’t just want to finish their degree - they want to feel ready!

What you’ll get:
✔️ Practical clinical workshops (running assessments + heel pain frameworks)
✔️ Access to our team education days (including international guest speakers)
✔️ Unlimited clinic observation
✔️ Direct support from a Senior Podiatrist (me!) ask anything, no judgement
✔️ A FREE pair of Brooks sneakers at completion of the internship program 👟

This program runs alongside your final year to bridge the gap between uni and private practice, so you walk into 2027 confident, supported and prepared.

Final year pod in 2026?
Applications are open, 6 spots only.

DM ‘Intern’ to show your interest, and I’ll be in touch with the next step!

Let’s make sure your first clinical day feels exciting… not overwhelming 🧡

Plantar Fasciitis Guide - X-ray and Ultrasound 🩻

When it comes to heel pain, be it plantar fasciitis and fasciopathy, it can be confusing to know what scan to get and why. Clients often ask, “do I need a X-ray?!’

We’ve put together a guide to help those with heel pain understand more behind X-rays and ultrasounds, and what we are really looking at when we send off for further clarification.

Our team of podiatrists treat plantar fascia pain every day in the clinic. Have a question? We would love to help, DM us now! 🦶🏻
