Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They invest about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and in fact several podiatry programs are contained inside these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired extensive medical training with an importance on difficulties concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to address concerns ranging from regular ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which supply them the skill necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute 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 carry out other tasks.
