Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They invest approximately 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in point of fact several podiatry training programs lie within these institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained encompassing medical education with a focus on problems involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to address conditions stretching from commonplace conditions such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which give them the experience vital to carry out surgical treatment on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against countless issues which the feet commonly encounter.
