Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They invest around ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and as a matter of fact a number of podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained encompassing medical training with an emphasis on concerns concerning the ankles and feet. They are instructed to address complications ranging from basic afflictions like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which supply them the skill vital to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and avoid a large number of troubles which the feet normally encounter.
