Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors devote approximately ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received considerable medical training with an importance on difficulties pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are educated to care for complications ranging from commonplace afflictions for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical training which supply them the expertise vital to conduct surgery on those conditions that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of many issues which the feet frequently experience.
