Our podiatrists put in around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in fact various podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received considerable medical training with an attention to on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. They are instructed to treat difficulties stretching from usual ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which supply them the skill required to execute surgical treatment on those conditions that are best treated through surgical intervention.
