Pedorthic Practicum Bursary

The Pedorthic Practicum Bursary is awarded to deserving students who are enrolled in the Western University – Continuing Studies, Pedorthics (Diploma) Program and are relocating to participate in at least one of their three practicums. This bursary is intended to provide financial support for students who would like to gain Pedorthic experience in another city or province, and to help grow the Pedorthic presence in areas that are underserviced.
