Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They devote approximately 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in reality numerous podiatry programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received considerable healthcare education with a stress on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to care for issues ranging from commonplace ailments like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more perplexing such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which furnish them the practical experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough 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. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and avoid many issues which the feet regularly experience.
