ÉCOLE D'ASSAS ASSAS SCHOOL OF PHYSIOTHERAPY AND PODIATRY OUR HISTORY Founded in 1936, the Ecole d’Assas is one of France’s most prestigious and long-established schools for physiotherapy and podiatry. Until the 1970s, the school was located at 28 rue d'Assas, hence its name. Since 1973, the school has been situated close to the centre of Paris, near the Eiffel Tower, well served by public transportation and near to France’s major hospitals and universities, thus offering a wide range of services to its students. Each year, the Assas school trains 500 students in both podiatry and physiotherapy. In 2014, as proof of its vitality, Assas opened a second school of physiotherapy in Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, near Versailles. This institution welcomes an additional 30 students each year. The Assas School of Physiotherapy and Podiatry benefits from a strong profile in educational sciences.

PHYSIOTHERAPY JEAN-JACQUES DEBIEMME Our mission is to train health professionals so that they can deal with complex situations and respond effectively to patients’ needs. From an educational perspective, the training we deliver goes beyond merely attaining academic proficiency; it is meant to build a sense of professional identity. Every member of the teaching and administrative staff is fully committed to the success of our students throughout their training at our institution. PODIATRY JEAN-PASCAL BEAUMONT The student-centred educational approach is based on a specific set of principles intended to foster the following qualities among students: - professionalism; - increased self-sufficiency over the three-year training course; - understanding and adoption of professional rules and ethics; - ability to use clinical reasoning and critical thinking; - ability to practice in line with contemporary standards. ASSAS CARE CLINIC The Assas School of Podiatry offers an excellent care clinic where patients receive the same standards of high-quality care as those available in private practice. In addition, the clinic serves as a facility in which students, under the direct supervision of the teaching staff, provide health care and pre- and post-prosthetic rehabilitation. Within the environment of our clinic, students not only encounter a wide variety of professional situations, they also learn from both their own practices and those of their fellow students. Around 3,000 patients visit the clinic each year for different clinical situations. Catering to patients from the entire Paris region, the clinic provides superior care to children, adults and the elderly. PHYSIOTHERAPY, AN EXCITING CAREER Physiotherapists work with people who have a variety of disabilities. They use physical and technical means to promote health, optimal rehabilitation and, whenever possible, recovery. Physiotherapy's wide range of applications makes it an exciting and rewarding career. PODIATRY, A WORLD OF OPPORTUNITIES Podiatrists work to improve their patients' mobility, independence and quality of life by providing preventive care, diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of problems affecting the feet, ankles and lower limbs. While the vast majority of podiatrists set up a private practice, they may also work on a sessional basis in diverse establishments such as private clinics, patients' homes, sports clubs or fitness centres, or as teachers in podiatry schools or universities.
