Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote approximately a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and actually a number of podiatry programmes are contained inside these institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received extensive medical instruction with a stress on conditions pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to deal with issues stretching from usual afflictions for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which provide them the expertise needed to conduct surgery on those complications that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks.
