Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes lie within these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained extensive health care training with a stress on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to address problems stretching from simple 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 extensive surgical instruction which supply them the experience crucial to conduct surgery on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities.
