After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired comprehensive healthcare training with a stress on conditions pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are trained to treat complications varying from normal disorders like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which furnish them the expertise crucial to conduct surgery on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities.
