Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in fact many podiatry training programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired wide-ranging health care education with an emphasis on difficulties involving the ankles and feet. They are qualified to deal with problems ranging from usual ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which give them the skill crucial to conduct surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and avoid numerous problems which the feet typically experience.
