After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained encompassing health care training with an emphasis on issues concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to care for problems ranging from standard ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot.
