Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in reality many podiatry training programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained encompassing healthcare training with a concentration on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to deal with issues stretching from typical disorders like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which furnish them the skill necessary to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.
