Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest approximately a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have obtained encompassing medical training with an emphasis on concerns regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to care for difficulties ranging from common conditions such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which furnish them the expertise necessary to carry out surgery on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of problems which the feet normally encounter.
