Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and actually quite a number podiatry programs are contained within these institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained extensive healthcare education with a main focus on conditions pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are qualified to treat issues stretching from conventional conditions for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical education which provide them the prior experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

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 withstand as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of complications which the feet routinely encounter.
