Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors invest an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in fact several podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired encompassing medical education with an emphasis on problems involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to handle conditions ranging from familiar afflictions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical instruction which provide them the practical experience essential to execute surgery on those conditions that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities.
