Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry programs are located within these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained encompassing healthcare instruction with an attention to on complications regarding the ankles and feet. They are skilled to care for concerns extending from usual conditions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical training which provide them the experience crucial to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive practical knowledge 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. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatric physician to create footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and defend against countless complications which the feet usually encounter.
