Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained extensive medical instruction with an attention to on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to address problems stretching from usual ailments such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical instruction which supply them the expertise needed to conduct surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities.
