Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree.
