Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend approximately 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and actually various podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received encompassing medical education with an emphasis on complications involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to care for difficulties extending from simple problems such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical instruction which furnish them the prior experience vital to carry out surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities.
