3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession
Orthopodology I is a basic subject in which the necessary knowledge is based to develop the therapeutic action that will be analyzed in Orthopodology II and that will be carried out in the Practicum. In addition, it is is cross-related to other subjects of the module, complementing them and providing a global vision of the intervention of the podiatrist, particularly in the field of orthopedics.
