Conclusions
•There are common tendencies in the contents
of study courses in the description of each
country’s study programs; however, the
amount of hours for earing credit points differs
in clinical courses.
•The amount of credit points (120 ECTS) in the
podology education program in Latvia, which
corresponds to the 4th level of professional
qualification, is insufficient for new specialists
to join European labour market.
•It is possible to improve the situation in
podology education in Latvia by designing a
new program for the next level of education
