Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They put in approximately a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in reality several podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained substantial medical training with an attention to on difficulties pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to manage conditions extending from regular conditions for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which give them the expertise vital to execute surgery on those complications that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid countless issues which the feet usually experience.
