Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in reality several podiatry programmes are contained inside these institutions.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained encompassing health care training with a stress on concerns involving the feet and ankles. They are skilled to treat difficulties ranging from familiar ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical training which provide them the expertise vital to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities.
