Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in about a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programs are located inside these schools. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have obtained encompassing health care training with a stress on issues involving the feet and ankles. They are instructed to manage concerns ranging from familiar conditions for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more challenging for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which provide them the skill essential to perform surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities.
