Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of a decade in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and as a matter of fact a number of podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received substantial health care training with a main focus on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. They are instructed to deal with conditions varying from usual conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which furnish them the practical experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of many conditions which the feet generally experience.
