Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and actually several podiatry programmes are contained within these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained wide-ranging medical training with an attention to on problems regarding the feet and ankles. They are educated to treat problems extending from typical problems such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical training which supply them the skill required to execute surgery on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities.
