Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry training programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired extensive medical training with an attention to on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to handle conditions extending from conventional ailments such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical training which provide them the expertise crucial to perform surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other tasks.
