Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest around ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and in reality many podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained extensive medical instruction with an attention to on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to manage complications ranging from simple conditions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical education which give them the expertise required to execute surgical treatment on those troubles that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive 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 tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous issues which the feet usually encounter.
