Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry programs are contained within these schools. After acquiring 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 fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained extensive health care instruction with an attention to on complications pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are studied to treat complications extending from simple disorders like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical training which provide them the prior experience vital to execute surgical treatment on those concerns that are best managed through surgical intervention.

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