Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in point of fact several podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained wide-ranging healthcare training with an importance on problems involving the feet and ankles.
