Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programmes lie within these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained encompassing medical training with an importance on difficulties involving the ankles and feet. They are taught to manage complications stretching from conventional conditions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical training which provide them the experience vital to execute surgery on those issues that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of many complications which the feet commonly encounter.
