Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in approximately a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and several podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received substantial health care instruction with a main focus on concerns concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to deal with difficulties varying from simple afflictions for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which give them the expertise vital to carry out surgery on those troubles that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of many problems which the feet normally encounter.
