Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry training programs are contained inside these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.
