Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They spend around ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry training programs are located within these schools.
