Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and actually a number of podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. Upon procuring 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 fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained considerable medical training with an emphasis on problems concerning the feet and ankles. They are trained to handle problems ranging from standard afflictions for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical education which provide them the experience crucial to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.
