Foot Institute Podiatrists devote about a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and in fact many podiatry training programs are contained inside these schools.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained encompassing medical training with a main focus on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to treat problems varying from simple conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which furnish them the experience essential to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive expertise 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 activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid countless complications which the feet commonly experience.
