Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and actually several podiatry programs are located inside these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired significant healthcare education with an attention to on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to manage concerns extending from familiar ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot.
