Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact numerous podiatry training programs are contained inside these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained significant medical education with an attention to on conditions involving the feet and ankles. They are educated to treat conditions varying from familiar ailments like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical education which furnish them the prior experience vital to carry out surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and avoid many issues which the feet regularly experience.
