Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote about 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry programs lie within these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired significant healthcare education with an emphasis on conditions involving the feet and ankles. They are instructed to manage conditions varying from basic ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which supply them the expertise necessary to execute surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and protect against a large number of troubles which the feet regularly encounter.
