In this episode of the Podiatry Legends Podcast, I speak with Malaysian Podiatrist Patricia Ting, who studied podiatry in Australia, gained six years of clinical experience, and returned home to Malaysia to establish KL Foot Specialist Podiatry, one of the country’s few private podiatry clinics.

Patricia shares what it was like growing up in a family of healthcare professionals, why she chose podiatry over medicine, and how reading my book, It’s No Secret… There’s Money in Podiatry helped guide her through the process of opening her clinic.

With a population of more than 36 million and only a handful of podiatry clinics, Malaysia presents enormous opportunities for podiatrists willing to educate the public, build relationships with medical practitioners, and raise awareness of the profession.

We also discuss:

The differences between practising in Australia and Malaysia
Podiatry Professionalism
Why she invested in shockwave, laser, gait analysis, and plantar pressure technology from day one
The importance of hiring the right receptionist
Why Malaysia is an exciting destination for podiatrists looking for international opportunities

This episode is a fantastic reminder that podiatry can take you anywhere in the world, and that with courage, planning, and persistence, you can build a thriving clinic in almost any market. If you’ve ever considered opening your own practice or working overseas, this episode will inspire you to think bigger.
