Where will the podiatry profession be in the next 10 or 20 years? That's an interesting question, and to give you some insight my guest today is Jackson Tisdell, a 2017 University of Newcastle graduate.
Jackson currently works at Forster Tuncurry Sports Podiatry, NSW, which is a biomechanics exclusive podiatry clinic, and he openly shares his thoughts and experiences in the profession so far.
On this episode we discuss:
- How the profession has exceeded his expectations
- The benefits of good mentorship
- Why he didn't search for full-time immediately upon graduation
- The benefits of waiting to find the right employer
- Being prepared to work for less to gain experience
- Finding you WHY and what inspires you
- Being on a path of constant learning
- New graduates are going to make mistakes, and why they should be allowed to, it's part of the education process
- Social Media
- Blogging and documenting
- Being part of the employers brand, not just an employee
- Using the title DR
- Why new graduates need to have a voice
- Treatment protocols and making decisions
- Being patient-centred with your treatment and how it relates to the patient's goals
- The importance of follow up
Jackon is currently preparing a presentation called New Grad Tips From A New Grad, which he hopes to present in universities around Australia, and if you want to reach out to Jackon he can be contacted at
